4–5 Year-Old Basketball Program

Our 4–5 Year-Old Basketball Program is designed to introduce young athletes to the game in a fun, encouraging, and age-appropriate environment. This once-a-week weekday clinic happening on Monday or Tuesday runs from the beginning of November to mid-December at Grace Point Church in Pasco, giving kids a great way to burn energy, build skills, and make friends as the weather turns colder.

We play on 6-foot hoops, and each session is built around active, high-energy stations that keep kids moving, learning, and smiling. Coaches lead drills that feel like games—teaching dribbling, passing, shooting, and basic court awareness without long lines or downtime.

In the final weeks of the program, we stage mini-scrimmages to give players a game-like atmosphere where they can try out their new skills in a low-pressure setting. Every athlete receives an FCA uniform to keep, helping them feel like part of the team from day one.

The heart of this program is simple: create a positive first basketball experience and build young athletes who love the game.

6-7 Year-Old Basketball Program

Our 6–7 Year-Old Basketball League gives young athletes the perfect step up from beginner clinics to real team play. This weekday league kicks off from the beginning of November to mid-December, blending skill development, teamwork, and game experience in a fun, encouraging, and age-appropriate environment.

Teams practice once a week on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday between 5–7 PM at Bethel Church. Practices are designed to feel like games—high-energy, movement-based, and focused on building confidence with the ball.

Games are played every Thursday at 5:15 or 6:30 PM, with locations split between Bethel Church in Richland and Grace Point Church in Pasco. Athletes compete on 8-foot hoops using 27.5 basketballs, giving them the right-sized environment to learn proper shooting form, spacing, and movement.

Each player receives an FCA uniform to keep, and every coach helps create a positive atmosphere where kids can grow as teammates, try new skills, and fall in love with the game.

The goal of this league is simple: build strong fundamentals, encourage teamwork, and create a first league experience they’ll never forget.
