PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Jr. NBA Skills Challenge presented by Under Armour provides boys and girls ages 13 and under the opportunity to showcase their dribbling, shooting, and rebounding skills in the sport of basketball. An online administrative tool kit will allow organizations to easily administer the program. Boys and girls compete separately in two different age groups: 11U and 13U. Participants compete in up to three (3) levels of competition, including the National Finals in New York City before the 2020 NBA Draft presented by State Farm. The program is free for all participants and organizations.
