Pick Their Place to Play
From first dribbles to first swings, there is a program for every little player ready to get moving.

DID YOU KNOW?
New to the Game? You’re in the Right Place
No previous basketball or Tee-ball experience is needed. Each program welcomes beginners and introduces skills in a way that matches the children’s age and stage.
What Ages Can Participate?
Children can begin basketball with Little Stars at age 3 and continue developing their game through age 10. Tee-ball welcomes children ages 4 to 6.
What Will My Child Learn Beyond the Game?
Children develop more than sport-specific skills. Every session encourages confidence, teamwork and the courage to keep trying. Those are wins that count long after the final whistle.
What If My Child Feels Shy or Unsure?
That is completely okay. Our positive, welcoming environment gives children room to join in at their own pace, celebrate small victories and become more comfortable through play.
How Can I Save My Child’s Spot?
