The jr.BKLYN CUP is a fun and supportive basketball league specially designed for student athletes in grades 1–3 who are new to the game. Perfect for young rookies just starting out, this program helps student athletes learn the basics—dribbling, passing, shooting, teamwork, and game awareness—all in a structured, no-pressure environment. With one weekly practice and weekend games, kids build skills and confidence through play, not just drills. All games take place at our state-of-the-art DUMBO facility, making it easy and convenient for families. As athletes grow and gain experience, those who show strong development may be invited to join BKLYN CUP teams in future seasons.
