Give your child the perfect introduction to basketball with our Kindergarten Basketball League!

Running Sundays from early January through late February (8-week season), this program coincides with the WS Rec Department’s existing basketball leagues and provides a fun, supportive environment for boys and girls taking the court for the first time. Each 60-minute session is led by professional Spartz Sportz trainers and features exciting 3-on-3, 4-on-4, and 5-on-5 games. Our focus is on teaching the fundamentals—passing, catching, defense, shooting, and rebounding—while emphasizing fun, teamwork, and confidence building. For many participants, this will be their first taste of live competition, with games designed to maximize touches, encourage skill development, and spark a love for the game.
