First Shot is where kids learn, friendships are formed and basketball is fun!
First Shot Basketball School is the leading basketball program in youth sports located in Queens, New York; teaching the fundamentals of basketball across all experience levels, with individual classes for boys and instruction girls ages 3-15 .
We offer non-competitive basketball lessons for beginners and competitive advanced training for more experienced children. Whether your child is picking up a basketball for the first time or continuing to develop his/her skills, our classes focus on fundamentals, teamwork, skill training and helping every child feel confident on the court. When kids feel confident, they enjoy the game more and come away with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
Our classes are taught by caring basketball teachers (not volunteers) who know how to instruct 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.
WHY FIRST SHOT?
Our goal is to give your children their best learning experience.
