Quickstart
A co-ed basketball program for kids aged 5-7 (grades P-2) QuickStart teaches children fundamental basketball skills (dribbling, passing,shooting and defending) through fun games and scrimmages.

Quickstart is designed to:

 

• Introduce basketball 

• Make kids LOVE basketball

• Develop fundamental basketball skills

• Help kids develop the values, qualities, and skills required for basketball and life

​

 

Specialized Gear​

•  All participants will receive a KMBA branded “team shirt”

​

Kids of all skill levels and abilities are welcome

 Parents are strongly encouraged to participate. The more people we have on the floor with the kids, the more instructional time
each child receives. No prior basketball knowledge required. Coaches will receive copies of the Junior NBA coaching plan and
receive instruction and assistance from the JR NBA coordinator.
​

QUICKSTART COACHES:
Deidre Burns

Dave Molnar

Season runs from:  Late October 2023 - Early March 2024
​
All Practices:   Saturdays at Coldbrook school: 9:00 – 9:45 am
 
Jamborees:
​
There are 2-4 jamborees each season. Quickstart kids are separated into equally skilled groups to play fun “mini” games of
basketball against quickstart kids from other clubs within the Kings-Hants League. Coaches join the kids on the floor to help them
learn what basketball games are about. There are no referees and it is just for fun.
 
KMBA hosts a Christmas cupcake jamboree each year.  This is usually in December
