Jr Wildcats develops young athletes through the game of basketball — building skill, confidence, and character on and off the court.
At Jr Wildcats, our mission is to develop young athletes through the game of basketball — building skill, confidence, and character both on and off the court. We're committed to teaching the fundamentals of the game while fostering teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship in every player, from 5th through 8th grade.
Every Wildcat, regardless of experience level, gets the coaching, encouragement, and opportunity to grow as a player and a person. We're proud to compete in the Hudson Valley Travel Basketball League (HVTBL).
Tryouts for all Jr Wildcats teams — boys' and girls', 5th through 8th grade — will be held October 5–22 at Columbus Elementary. See the full schedule below.
