Blue Jay Club Seasons
At Blue Jay Basketball Club, we believe our youth should have the opportunity to learn and play the game of basketball at a competitive level, at a reasonable cost, alongside their classmates, right here in Bondurant. Our mission is to create an inclusive, supportive environment where players of all skill levels can enjoy the game, build confidence, and develop their abilities. For athletes seeking a greater challenge, we also provide opportunities to advance their skills through higher-level, competitive play in our Tournament and Summer League seasons which can include some local travel.
We offer 3 primary seasons with additional opportunities throughout the year designed to meet players where they are:
