The BKLYN CUP is a competitive yet supportive basketball development league for boys in grades 3 - 10. Designed for student athletes who are passionate about the game but not seeking the intense commitment of AAU. It offers the perfect middle ground—less pressure, but still high-level play. With a structured format that includes two practices per week and weekend games throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons, athletes improve their fundamentals, basketball IQ, and teamwork through consistent, game-based learning. All league games take place at our state-of-the-art facility in Sunset Park, offering a convenient location for families. As student athletes progress, those who demonstrate exceptional growth and skill will be invited to join our AAU/Travel program for the next level of competition.
