Best Basketball Camps, Classes & Leagues

Basketball camps and classes are available for kids as young as 5 years old. Rule-based playing does not begin until kids are 7 to 9 years old.

As basketball is an aerobic sport, it is a great work out. It builds strength, improves balance and coordination.

Many basketball classes align with school semesters or seasons. For kids, new to the sport, a month-long class can be a good way to assess their level of interest.

A kids' basketball league offers the benefits of a class while enhancing teamwork and social skills as players learn to collaborate, communicate, and respect others. It instills discipline, commitment, and leadership qualities through healthy competition.
