Welcome and Program Offerings

National Junior Basketball League (NJB) is a non profit organization founded in 1984 by Dennis Murphy Jr, a former coach at Garden Grove High School in Orange County. Dennis had a vision of a youth basketball league based on sportsmanship and player development. His goal was to create a league where boys and girls would develop Basketball fundamentals while stressing good sportsmanship and fair play. Today NJB has over 25,000 players playing in 6 states. The motto of NJB is “Everyone Wins, In NJB”.

In the Northern California (NorCal) NJB Region, we have about 8,500 boys and girls playing NJB basketball. If you would like to serve as a volunteer in NorCal NJB, and in particular your child’s Chapter, please email the Chapter Director in your local area for more information – obtain email address from the respective Chapter.

Regards,

Mel Robertson – NorCal NJB Regional Director
