BASKETBALL
NPSC's Basketball Program offers a great opportunity for boys and girls in grades Kindergarten through High School to:
*Develop their skills
*Learn and love the game
*Grow as athletes and young women and men
Our Flagship program is our Winter Recreational League which allows over 600 kids annually to focus on:
*Basketball Skills
*Sportsmanship and Self-Esteem
*Teamwork and Decision Making
Our program is expanding to include camps, clinics and other opportunities for youth to enjoy this great game.
Our goal is to create a positive experience for players and develop future generations who represent the game and community with integrity.
Come join us on the court!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
NPSC fees cover the use of facilities, insurance, equipment and payment to game officials. We rely 100% on parent volunteers to serve as Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Scorekeeper and Timekeeper.
