Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between J.P.B.L & BallerZ Elite Basketball?
- JCC Premier Basketball League (J.P.B.L.)
The JCC Premier Basketball League encompasses a skills training & game schedule that will commence on Sunday mornings, Tuesday, & Thursday evenings. Our in-house league consists of 10 games (plus playoffs) & 16 “Skills Clinics”. The games are coached by volunteer coaches & staff, & our skills training are conducted by a team of Basketball Trained Professionals. Please see information below:
Skill Clinic Time Slots:
4:30pm-5:30pm         Grades 2 & 3
5:30pm-6:30pm         Grades 4 & 5  *Finalized time following registration/evaluation
6:30pm-7:30pm         Grades 4 & 5 *Finalized time following registration/evaluation
7:30pm-8:30pm         Grades 6 & 7 - BallerZ Elite Travel Basketball Program
Coach JR Inman & his Staff in the BallerZ ELite Travel Basketball Program have created a competitive platform for talented hoopers interested in an elevated experience (20 team practices & 16 games). Our games take place both at the JCC & nearby bordering locations throughout Bergen County. These games & practices are managed by professional coaches only (No Volunteer Coaching).This is possibly the most glaring difference between the two program options we have to offer. Practices for BallerZ Elite focus more on a “team philosophy” rather than a focus on individual skill development which would be found more so in the “Skills training” found in J.P.B.L. Our approach here is to encourage players to develop their 5 on 5 instincts, & execute organized sets of formation.
Can my child do both?
Yes, players interested in maximum participation would register for the BallerZ Elite Travel Basketball Program which includes a full BallerZ Elite team travel schedule + J.P.B.L. in house league games.
