Jr NBA of Gaithersburg offers recreational basketball for youth. No team tryouts and everyone is supposed to get a chance to play. Sounded just right for my 14-year old son who is a solid player who has been playing for years and looking for more game experience. Unfortunately, it was really a waste of $200. Practices were unfocused with no attempt at skill development. Playing time for players who were not as strong was often minimal, just a couple minutes per game or sometimes no time at all, despite the coach's promises to the contrary. Coach was focused on winning the game rather than giving all kids a chance to play. Families should know that depending on coach and child's skill, playing time may be minimal. This is just not what we expected given how league was promoted. Another problem was that many games were scheduled 9 pm-10 pm (if on time) on school nights, much too late for high school students needing to get up early the next morning for school. When I complained to the commissioner I was told that I was the only one with these problems, yet I know other families shared the same concerns with me. Poorly run overall. If you live near Olney, try the Olney Boys and Girls Club, a very well run organization that really does promote giving each child a chance to learn and play. read more
