In the East Saint John Minor Basketball Association, our priorities are simple. Kids should
- have fun
- develop skills
- make new friends
Basketball is a fast-paced sport that is fun to play. As with any sport, injuries can happen; however, basketball is primarily a game of running, passing, and strategy in a closely supervised environment. Although it is relatively inexpensive, basketball is good exercise and enables players to develop skills and self-confidence in a team environment.
