Jr. NBA

KWGBA is continuing to partner with the NBA and Basketball Canada to provide the Jr. NBA program to the Kitchener / Waterloo area for girls ages 5 to 10. This program is targeted towards individuals who have the eagerness to learn and achieve the fundamental aspects of basketball. Most participants are being introduced to basketball for the first time or have done similar programs previously.

TUESDAY EVENING - Fall 2025 Session

The fee for the Tuesday Jr. NBA program will remain $115 this year for each of the fall and winter sessions. Every participant will receive a Jr. NBA pinnie and an age-appropriate basketball.  The Tuesday program is 12 weeks long.  

The fall program will run every Tuesday from September 23^rd until December 9^th with December 16^th as a snow day.

Girls born in 2018 have the option of attending the early or the late session depending on their skill level. Please note that the later session is expected to be faster paced although the program is always adjusted for the players in attendance.
