About the Team
Who It’s For
Girls and boys in grades 1–2 who are new to the game or building their foundation.
Our Approach
We make first basketball experiences positive and productive. Players learn age-appropriate fundamentals—dribbling, passing, footwork, shooting form, spacing, and defense—through engaging drills and game play. We emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork, effort, and a positive attitude so confidence grows with skill.
Why STACK
STACK is a first-class, teaching-focused program with a proven reputation for developing young athletes the right way. Our professional coaches are organized, encouraging, and detail-oriented, creating a safe, supportive environment where kids can work hard and have fun.
Facility & Operations
Training takes place at our state-of-the-art STACK Basketball facility in Mahwah, NJ. From registration to the final whistle, our staff is responsive and organized, keeping practices, games, and training sessions on time and well run.
Player Experience
We prioritize plenty of playing opportunities, small-group instruction, and clear communication with families. With flexible scheduling options, busy parents can find a rhythm that works—while kids get consistent reps to build a strong foundation.
Team Info
1st–2nd Grade In-House Basketball League
Our 1st/2nd grade teams—no outside opponents or travel. Players will have one weekday practice and in-house games on the weekend at STACK. The goal is to create a fun, balanced, skill-building environment right here at our gym.
How the In-House Games Work
-
Balanced teams each weekend: Players in the same division are grouped and divided into teams of similar size/ability to keep games competitive and fun.
-
Coached by STACK staff: Our professional coaches run the benches and keep a strong balance between learning and enjoyment.
-
Refereed & supervised: Games are observed and officiated by trained junior officials under staff supervision.
-
Flexible jerseys for balance: Players may be asked to switch to a different color pinny/jersey on game day to keep matchups even. (Reversible practice jerseys are helpful but not required—pinnies provided.)
Weekly Cadence
-
Practice: One weekday practice led by STACK coaches focused on fundamentals, footwork, ball-handling, passing, shooting, and game concepts.
-
Games: In-house games on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday). The game schedule will be posted in advance and may vary week to week.
