Our basketball league offers each child the opportunity to improve their basketball skills, 

build new friendships, and learn positive character traits.
Our primary purpose is share Christ's love with children and their families. 

Starters Basketball is for children ages 5-12 as of November. Starters is a Ministry of First Baptist Church Tyler.

We have volunteer, coach-based programs. Our coaches will go through a background check and coaches' training. We are  looking for coaches with or without experience. We will give you all the tools you need to be successful. 

As a thank you all coaches get a $30 discount off of their children's registration fees.
