Jam Basketball

Jam is getting ready to start a new travel season. We will be forming teams for our entry levels, that is the girls 10U and boys 9U. Most of these players will be chosen from the ranks of our fall league and past winter league. Players will be called to see if they may be interested in being part of a Jam Travel Team. We will be putting together coaching staffs for these ages as the fall progresses. Last year both our girls 10U and boys 9U were tops in their age divisions. We plan to continue that winning tradition with our incoming teams.

Jam has always had quality coaching for the travel teams. We are very proud of the coaches that have given their time to help teach the young players about basketball, while being a positive roll model. If you look over the volunteer coaching staff for Jam travel you will find, at every level, a quality person who possesses a tremendous amount of basketball knowledge. Two of last years travel coaches went on to coach at the college level for the 2000-01 basketball season. Nick Nofi is now the head coach at Olean Community College in upstate New York, and Steve Silsby is now a full time assistant coach for men's basketball at a community college in Arkansas. They volunteered their time out of love of the game and commitment to community service.
