Youth Basketball Frequently Asked Questions

Grace, speed, power . . . all of these adjectives have been used to describe the most distinguished basketball players of all time. The best players in the game did not come by this talent overnight, however. They had to develop their skills. In order to give children a chance to develop their proficiency in basketball, the St. Joseph Parks & Recreation Department and the St. Joseph School District administer a youth basketball program each autumn/winter. Regardless of whether a child is interested in competition, skill development or just playing for fun, we encourage all youth to get involved in this program. For specific information, please call the Parks & Recreation office at (816) 271-5500 or area elementary schools.
