The National Basketball Players Association's Grassroots Program consists of innovative, live and online basketball and life skill development experiences, designed for youth to learn, have fun, and maximize their potential, both on and off the court.

With a new emphasis on virtual engagement, our priority will continue to be providing support for grassroots players and positively impacting the lives of youth and their families through the creation of our new NBPA online community. NBPA grassroots will help kids at every skill level stay active and connected through training programs and online experiences that feature instruction from NBPA Members, skill trainers, and top coaches from around the world.

REFURBISHMENT PROJECT FOR NYC PARKS’ GREG MARIUS COURT AT HOLCOMBE RUCKER PARK

In 2021, working alongside local community leaders and brand partners, NBPA and its members undertook the complete renovation of the court, including the repair and leveling of the court’s pavement, the replacement of the bleachers, backboards and baskets - custom made and provided by Spalding, and scoreboard, the addition of team benches to both sides of the court, and the repainting of the basketball court.

Rucker Park

To commemorate the reopening of Rucker Park, the NBPA and its partners hosted a ribbon-cutting day of youth basketball events that celebrate the shared legacy of Rucker Park and the NBPA. The event included thoughtfully-designed activities that unite our players’ passion for the game and their commitment to support the local community.
