Youth Basketball

The City of Akron Tiny Tot Basketball program provides the opportunity for young athletes, ages 5 - 7, at the recreational level to improve their basketball knowledge and skill set while working side by side with experienced City of Akron staff. The themes we stress are teamwork, creating a safe learning environment for all participants, accountability, and sportsmanship.

Our clinic and league objectives are:

• to improve basic game skills
• shooting
• dribbling
• rebounding and passing
• to improve offensive and defensive positional play
• to improve overall fitness
• to learn basic strategies and rules of basketball
• to learn more about basketball while enjoying the game. 

The ultimate goal of this program is to improve the level of play of each participant and provide him or her with a rewarding and fun experience while learning the fundamentals of basketball and making new friends.

We offer Tiny Tots at:

• Ed Davis Community Center
• Joy Park Community Center
