Welcome to the 2026–2027 Winter Basketball Season!

 

The countdown is on! We’re excited to kick off another season of Winter Basketball at the John M. Barry Boys & Girls Club of Newton and can’t wait to see everyone back on the court, along with the new faces who will be joining us this coming season.

 

Each season brings a new opportunity to learn, compete, and grow and this year will be no different. After a nice summer break, we are looking forward to seeing our athletes bring their hard work and enthusiasm back into our gym to hoop. Whether a player is stepping onto the court for the first time or returning for another season, our goal is to help everyone become a more confident, skilled, and well-rounded athlete.

 

Our coaches will focus on more than just basketball. Throughout the season, we’ll challenge our players to improve their fundamentals, play with confidence, and understand the importance of working together. At the heart of our program are three values that guide everything we do: Respect, Reliability, and Responsibility. We believe that building strong teammates and strong character is just as important as putting points on the scoreboard.

 

Most importantly, we want this season to be one filled with energy, teamwork, competition, and fun. We’re grateful for the continued trust and support of our families and for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the young athletes in our community both on and off the court.

 

Here’s to a great 2026–2027 season. Let’s get to work!

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 

Best,
