Youth Basketball

NORA offers basketball clinics year round and recreational after school basketball leagues for 4th - 6th graders during the school year. We offer after school girls basketball in the Fall (October - December) and after school boys' basketball in the Winter (January - March). Look for registrations for these programs approximately 1 month prior to start dates. Volunteer coaches are always welcome for these programs and essential for their success.

Youth Basketball Clinic (K-4th Grade) - Fall

Get ready to dribble, pass, shoot, and have some fun! Brothers Coach Micah and Coach Eli Castaneda-Kelley are bringing their love of basketball to the gym for a four-week elementary basketball clinic. As current Grand Haven High School JV and Varsity basketball players, they’ll share their experience while helping young athletes build fundamental skills and confidence on the court.
