Jr. NBA Youth Basketball is a national youth basketball program for children ages 5 to 12 that encourages a fun, active and healthy learning environment.

The 12–week curriculum complies with Sport for Life’s Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Model and is aligned with Canada Basketball’s Development Pathway.

Jr. NBA is a turnkey program, providing hosts with the full curriculum, participant materials and coach training required to deliver the programming.

Not only will participants learn the fundamental skills of basketball through fun, engaging games, they will also learn essential life skills including leadership, sportsmanship, teamwork and respect.

The focus is on FUN—get involved!

RAMP Registration and Financial Process

We have adopted RAMP this year as the official way in which Jr NBA registrations should be captured.

Please see below on the updated registration process, and how that may impact the way we communicate the cost to join the program:

Step 1 – RAMP – Player Registration

1.      Host Organizations direct parents/players to register for their Jr. NBA Program over RAMP. When parents/guardians’ complete registration through the RAMP Interactive system, as an initial step, they will pay the Canada Basketball ($9) and OBA membership and insurance ($15) firstly.

2.      Later, along the registration path, the parents/guardians will then register and pay for the Jr NBA session, with that fee going directly to the Host Organization.
