IBSA Junior Academy

IBSA Jr. NBA Academy – Ages 4-9

Foundations First. Confidence Built to Last.

New for 2027: Jr. NBA/WNBA Partnership! We’re excited to introduce our new Jr. NBA/WNBA partnership as part of the IBSA Junior Academy. This exciting addition connects our youngest athletes with the world of NBA and WNBA basketball while keeping our focus on what matters most: building strong foundations, growing confidence, and making every child’s introduction to the game a positive one.

 

The IBSA Jr. NBA Academy is a 10-week, curriculum-based program designed for young athletes aged 4 to 9 who are just getting started in basketball. Whether it’s their first time on the court or their first time in a structured sports setting, the Junior Academy introduces the game in a way that’s fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate.

 

Our experienced coaches create a welcoming environment where athletes build confidence, coordination, and a love for the game — all while learning alongside their peers.

 

Program Includes:

• Age-appropriate skill development through games and play
• Introduction to movement, balance, coordination, and teamwork
• Structured learning led by certified IBSA coaches
• A fun and inclusive setting that fosters confidence and connection
