Worcester JCC Jr. NBA Basketball

"Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game." —Michael Jordan

The Worcester JCC would like to invite you to be a sponsor of our Jr. NBA Basketball Program for the 2024-2025 Season! Our program runs for six months with a Pre-Season beginning in November, Regular Season beginning in January, and Spring Season beginning at the end of March. Jr. NBA team sponsorship includes team shirts with the sponsor name of your choice, along with social media posts and a prominently displayed sponsor board outside our gymnasium.

Our basketball players are one-of-a-kind as they not only develop skills but learn how to be team players, expressing sportsmanship on and off the court. According to the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition Science Board, children that play sports gain mental health benefits, such as better social skills and social responsibility, lower rates of anxiety, increased cognitive performance and creativity, and an overall greater enjoyment of physical activity.

It is through the generosity of sponsors like you that we can offer strong youth basketball programs for those in our community. We hosted over 500 players last year! Our basketball players appreciate the opportunity to learn, compete, and develop friendships while playing a sport they love.

You can support these basketball programs by becoming a Coach, Captain, or Teammate Sponsor. Simply pick the sponsorship type you would like to purchase below, and input your credit card and team information. . 

Thank you for your support to keep the kids on the courts!

Here’s what some of our players, parents, and volunteers think about our program:

“The junior NBA gave me more confidence, improved my skills, and encouraged my love of basketball! I was too nervous to play before, but now I love each week I go!” —Allison, 10, Jr. NBA Player

"I've been playing since I was 3! I love the games, working on my skills and playing with my friends!” —Ryan, 7, Jr. NBA Player

“The coaches do a great job teaching basketball skill during the skills and scrimmage time. The focus is on improving each week and having fun. It was an awesome experience for our 2nd grader. We plan to do it again next year!” —Caryn, JCC Parent

"Having been involved with the JCC Jr. NBA program long enough to now be coaching the kids of the kids I first coached many years ago, I can say that it’s as rewarding for me as it is for them." —Ron, Longtime Volunteer Coach

Yes, I would like to sponsor a basketball team!
