JBA Mission

The overall mission of JBA basketball is to help children and adults build stronger families, positive life skills (commitment, working hard, dealing with adversity, etc.), exceptional character and a sense of community through the great game of basketball. 

It is also our mission to develop a new model for the development of basketball players, coaches, referees and basketball leagues.

We will accomplish this by doing the following:

1 - Help youth basketball leagues succeed with parents, coaches, players and referees by providing useful cutting edge information, training and technologies.

2 - Help youth basketball players reach their potential by using the most current and state-of-the-art instruction, training information and resources available.

3 - Improve the experience of the youth basketball parent by helping them understand their role and teaching them what to do to help their player have a good experience.

4 - Develop and train youth basketball coaches at all levels - teaching them the fundmentals of good basketball, how to work effectively with kids, and how to be a good role model.

5 - Change the role of the referee. Help parents, children and coaches realize the referee is not someone to yell at but is a contributor to the overall success of their basketball experience. Help referees redefine their role by positively interacting with kids during games and becoming part of the teaching process.

Triple Threat Basketball League
JBA has developed a league program called Triple Threat Basketball.  The Triple Threat League is organized and focused on the positive development of kids. Every Triple Threat player, whether they want to play for fun or have the desire to get serious about basketball, will have that opportunity in a Triple Threat league.

JBA started it's first Triple Threat League in Mesa, Arizona in 2001 and offers a school boundary based league as well as an open boundary league for club teams. Elementary, jr. high and high school basketball players all benefit from the program format.
