Commitment:
The Nordonia Jr. Knights program is focused on developing well-rounded student-athletes—on and off the court. Open to boys and girls in 2nd through 6th grade, the season begins with a 10-week preseason clinic led by professional trainers. We teach the game the right way, build strong character, and foster a true passion for basketball.

Jr Knights basketball requires commitment, no exceptions. Players are expected to attend practices and games. If your daughter is planning to play multiple sports this winter, you must decide if she can fully commit to this team. Repeated absences will directly impact playing time and roster status. This program is for families ready to prioritize the in season sport.

We’re excited to continue building a strong girls basketball program in Nordonia Hills area and hope to see your player at tryouts this fall!
