WHAT IS KLINIC KIDS?

Klinic Kids is a 501c3 non-profit that brings the top coaches and trainers together to not only provide professional level basketball development, but also includes an intentional focus on health and wellness to ensure we provide a rich, lasting and impactful experience for every child. Our program is unique in that it was designed by some of the top educators in NYC, including a professor from NYU whose research and practice focus on the complex interplay between mental health, education inequities and race. Almost every one of our trainers are former pro athletes and have come from a similar demographic as many of our participants, which allows them to connect in much deeper and authentic ways.

Take a look at our upcoming schedule. Register your child or a child you know who can benefit from our work, volunteer your time or make a donation. We welcome you to join the movement.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Being mentally healthy in childhood means reaching developmental and emotional milestones, learning healthy social skills and how to cope and stay resilient when there are challenges. We achieve this through focusing on the following areas:

- Individualized Drills

- Team Building Activities

- Social Emotional Learning

- Positive Affirmations

- Small Group Instruction

- Wellness Breaks

- Healthy Snack Stations

SELF IMAGE

We bring social emotional learning outside of the classroom for the day and present kids with fun, exciting and challenging activities within the game of basketball that are designed to reinforce a positive self image and a healthy mental well being.

OUR METHODS

For one day, every single participant will feel from the very beginning of the experience that they are a part of something special. Our trainers are able to make quick assessments and provide training based on the participants individual skill level and also give some of the tips and tricks that only the real pros know. Every participant leaves with a stronger sense of accomplishment, self-esteem and confidence, taking with them tools to aid them on and off the basketball court.

ASSIST LEADERS

If you're interested in assisting as a trainer or volunteering at any of our Klinic Kids events, we would love to hear from you. Maybe basketball is more of a spectator sport for you, but you would love to assist our kids financially or with gifts that can aid our cause, we definitely welcome your help as well.
