House League  ·  Airdrie

Mini House Division

Born 2017 – 2018  ·  Ages 8–9


Our Mini-House League is a high-energy, co-ed program designed for 8–9-year-olds who are ready to build on the basics of basketball in a fun and supportive setting. This league introduces players to the rules and strategies of the game while continuing to develop essential skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting — foundations first established in Jr. NBA.

Teams are formed with balance in mind. A short evaluation process helps us ensure that skill levels are evenly distributed, creating a fair and encouraging environment for all players.

Through engaging practices and exciting games, kids build confidence, learn teamwork, and experience the joy of the sport. Our focus is on inclusion, sportsmanship, and fostering a lifelong love for basketball — while introducing a healthy sense of competition in a positive, age-appropriate way.

✅  Beginners Welcome

No previous basketball experience is required. Just like Jr. NBA, we welcome players of all skill levels — if your child is picking up a basketball for the first time, Mini House is a great place to start.
