Basketball has been a beloved sport in our nation for decades, and it’s not hard to figure out how this sport has captured the attention of millions. From the fast-paced action to the superstars making waves on and off the court, one can’t help but be captivated by the magnetism of this magical game. One of the very best aspects of basketball is its accessibility to athletes of all ages and abilities – after all, you’re never too young to get a head start on your 3-point shot! In the spirit of this game of greatness, the City of Trenton invites community youth to come together and learn the ins and outs of basketball at this year’s Basketball Skills Clinic.

Summertime is here for students in the Capital City, and the summer is the perfect opportunity to get moving, get outside, and enjoy some fun in the sun. For youth looking to brush up on their basketball skills and make some friends along the way, the City of Trenton’s Basketball Skills Clinics are the perfect place to get started. Clinics are available every Saturday now through August 17th at the Cadwalader Park Basketball Courts, located at 36 Parkside, Trenton, NJ 08618. Hands-on clinics will be offered at the following age groups and times:

  • Elementary students: 11am to 12:30pm
  • Grades 6th-12th: 12:30pm to 2:00pm

This program is presented by the City of Trenton’s Department of Recreation, Natural Resources, and Culture, a community resource for Trentonians of all ages. Throughout their carefully curated programming and initiatives, Trenton’s Department of Recreation offers city residents countless opportunities to get engaged and involved in sports, educational programming, and all sorts of family-friendly fun. Whether you’re taking advantage of our city’s many pools, parks, or recreation centers or enjoying an evening on the town at events such as the Summer Concert Series, there is no shortage of delights to be discovered across our community. While the summertime may be heating up, there’s never been a cooler time to be in the Capital City!
