Jr. NBA - Curriculum

The JR. NBA curriculum is available at https://jr.nba.com/jr-nba-instructional-curriculum.

A Curriculum Overview includes the Jr. NBA philosophy, curriculum features, and coaching tips. The program ABCD's are

  • Always Fun
  • Building Skills
  • Cultivating Values
  • Developing Mental & Physical Wellness

Curriculum updates at the Rookie level have added a games approach, small-sided games, random starts, loading and deloading, and decision-making.

For the Rookie, Starter, All-Star and MVP levels, below are links to the practice plans with video playlists. Each curriculum page has a link to the Skills Checklist for that level. Practice plans and skills checklists can be downloaded.

The Jr. NBA also groups the practice videos into playlists by skill category (there are also instructional playlists by NBA Coaches and Players):

I created playlists by program level:

Rookie Level (typically ages 5 to 8)

See SNYB FUNdamentals, Mega Hoops FUNdamentals.up

Starter Level (pre-teen)

See SNYB Learn to Train, Mega Hoops Learn to Train.up

All-Star Level (teenage)

See Gooroo Youth Basketball Drills.up

MVP Level (high school)
