Who We Are
The Jr. Nuggets are committed to growing the game of basketball across Colorado by providing fun, inclusive, and development-focused experiences for youth athletes of all skill levels.
Our programs are led by experienced coaches, former players, and trained basketball professionals who are USA Basketball licensed and background-checked.
Our goal is simple: Inspire the next generation through the game of basketball while creating unforgettable experiences connected to the Denver Nuggets brand.
Programs are designed to teach basketball the right way through age-appropriate instruction, engaging drills, and opportunities for players to put their skills into action.
We use the game to help young athletes build confidence, develop teamwork, overcome challenges, and create habits that extend beyond the court.
Whether picking up a basketball for the first time or continuing to develop their game, every player is encouraged to compete, have fun, and leave the court excited to play again.
