First Shot is where kids learn, friendships are formed and basketball is fun!
First Shot is the leading basketball program in youth sports located in Queens, New York; teaching the fundamentals of basketball with individual classes for boys and girls ages 3-15.
We offer non-competitive basketball lessons for beginners and competitive advanced training for more experienced children.. Our classes are taught by caring basketball teachers (not volunteers) who know how to instruct and help children build confidence while they learn in a healthy, camp-like atmosphere. Everything we do is designed to be child sensitive. Not every child is an athlete, but every child wants to look good in front of his/her friends, and be recognized for their effort. We give them the skills and the confidence to feel good about themselves and their performance.
