J-Ball Basketball (J-Ball) is a non-profit Jewish High School Basketball League that combines players’ love for basketball with their Jewish identity. Now in its 8th season, J-Ball continues to connect over 110 young men from over a dozen schools in the Greater Philadelphia area. Hosted at the Kaiserman JCC in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, our league offers a supportive and inclusive environment where Jewish high school boys can compete, develop their skills, and, most importantly, build lasting friendships. Our games are played on Sunday nights from 5-8 PM (two games at the top of each hour), providing a consistent space for young athletes to foster teamwork, leadership, and sportsmanship. As J-Ball continues to grow, we hope you join us for another exciting season of basketball!
J-Ball is at capacity, if you are interested in joining the waitlist or sublist, please email Jballbasketball@gmail.com

A lengthy regular season, playoff campaign, all-star game, three point contest, and player awards are up for grabs with every sign-up.
J-Ball is held at the Kaiserman JCC on Sunday afternoons in the Fall and Winter. Although there are no practices, each team forms a bond during the season. J-Ball teams are individually headed by their respective captains, with the oversight of the commissioner. Players with all different skill levels are welcome to join in on the fun. Registration fills quickly every year, so make sure to follow @jballbasketball on instagram for updates, important information, sign-up details, and daily posts about the league’s activities and achievements!
