JLeagues Backstory

JLeagues was inspired by a little boy from Brooklyn who was clumsy and uncoordinated. The boy who was always chosen last by his teammates at every sport. Although his mom encouraged him to keep trying, he was still discouraged and quickly gave up. His inability to play affected his confidence in all areas of his life. Heartbroken for her little boy, his mom decided to create a sports league with professional coaches who would cater to every child’s needs, no matter if that child was a beginner or a pro.

One thing led to another and our original group of ten kids kept growing as happy parents and confident children spread the word to all their friends. Pretty soon, parents were requesting coaches for all kinds of sports and fitness programs and JLeagues was born.

At JLeagues we believe that everyone has their own strengths and can develop their potential with a large dose of encouragement and confidence. That’s why we employ only the most highly skilled coaches in the sports industry. Our coaches are enthusiastic and passionate. They believe in every student and understand that building confidence, sportsmanship and teamwork are just important as skill building. 

At JLeagues our motto is BE ANYTHING.

We are truly passionate in our belief that

Anyone can learn to fly

as long as you are willing to try.

We now boast a full scale boys basketball youth league, a girls basketball program, a competitive gymnastics team, after school classes for all ages in tumbling, parkour, little ninja, rhythmic gymnastics, and gymnastics clinics, a popular Sunday morning program for preschoolers and grade school children, and our popular private coaching sessions. We are proud of what we've become, and we will continue to strive to give the best service that we can, and to inspire children from Brooklyn and beyond.

“You can never fail, if you never, ever, give up.”
