The Elite 8 Basketball Academy is proud and excited to announce that we have partnered with Canada Basketball and are offering the JR. NBA PROGRAM this fall!!
The Jr. NBA program is the official grassroots youth development program of Canada Basketball. It’s designed to develop fundamental skills, sportsmanship and a love of the game of basketball.
The curriculum has been developed by NBA Basketball Operations and a team of experts in child development, physical literacy, and basketball fundamentals. These experts have made sure the curriculum is compliant with Canada Basketball’s ( LTAD ) Long-Term Athlete Development model.
The program will include games that are modified to be age-appropriate and use age-appropriate equipment such as smaller basketballs and lowered hoops.
