JUNIOR FLY

Why Junior Fly?

Junior Fly was created based on two key insights:

1) Lack of programs for young competitive players

We heard this time and time again, “my son/daughter is more advanced and needs a more structured and challenging environment…but they are not quite ready for a full-on competitive league”. Many of these ‘early achievers’ tend to get caught in the middle. They are too advanced for programs designed for their age, but not mentally and/or physically ready for the next step up.

2) The lack of structure and rules in Beginner Leagues

There are several quality beginner leagues that do a great job introducing the game to young players in a fun and formative way. However, we noticed time and time again that many of these young players have a very difficult time transitioning from a beginner learning league (no steals, blocks, travels, double dribbles, score, ref, etc) to a full competitive basketball team in 3rd or 4th grade. We often saw players get frustrated and lose confidence because they went from a fun environment with minimal rules, to a very structured competitive environment, and they weren’t prepared.
