The Junior Spartan Boys Basketball Program invites you to participate in a number of opportunities offered to boys in grades 3-9 (2026-2027 school year). The Junior Spartan basketball program is a community-based program and, as a result, will begin the registration process for programs being offered this summer. Each family has important decisions to make regarding their son’s participation in the programs offered. Parents and participants engaging in any opportunity offered by the Junior Spartan Boys basketball program do so with knowledge of the risks involved, including potential exposure to illness.
