Upper West Side Kids Baskeball Programs
by NYCBBL on
The Upper West Side is really the central location for much of NYC Basketball Kids Program. Eleven 1 week day camps are held each summer at John Jay College on 59th and 10th. These camps are open to boys and girls of all skill levels ages 5-17. You can see a full camp schedule here.
Throughout the year we also offer multiple 1 day clinics featuring local NBA players or NBA stars from teams outside the city. Our philosophy with these programs is to give kids an unforgettable experience that reinforces the best lessons they learn through camps, classes, and year round training.
Beyond camps and clinics we offer instructional classes and lessons that are convenient for Upper West Side Residents on a year round basis. Each week we offer Saturday lessons for kids ages 4-14 at Saint Vincent Ferrer HS on 65th & Lex and we plan to add Upper West Side Locations for these classes in September 2016. You can read more about our instructional classes and you can view our schedule of these classes here.
We also offer flexible options for private lessons that can be held anywhere on the Upper West Side. Among other locations in the neighborhood, NYC Basketball regularly uses Trevor Day School on 88th and Central Park West.
We're excited about all of our UWS offerings and we're thrilled to have 100s of players from many different schools on the UWS as part of the program. We look forward to adding more local locations and exciting events in the near future.
