The goal of our program is to provide a developmental basketball experience for boys and girls in grades third through eight who live or go to school in Inver Grove Heights. We’re a community-based program, looking to provide a great basketball learning experience in a competitive environment. We recognize that kids play sports for a variety of reasons – because they love the sport, want to get a team experience, have fun, like the competitive nature of basketball, are interested in learning new skills, or a host of other reasons. The great news, too, is basketball can be a lifetime sport, played anytime and anywhere a hoop and a ball are available. The skills kids learn through our program today can help them maintain their health in adulthood – a great gift parents can give their kids!
Our Association is managed by a Board of volunteers who, with our volunteer coaches, are the backbone of the success of our program. We invite you to get involved to help drive the ongoing success of the program.
Throughout the season, if any of our Board members can be of assistance, please contact us.
