The Kinderhook Basketball Association (KBA) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organization that gives local kids a place to learn the game, build confidence and play for their community. From a first dribble in Little Lakers to competitive travel ball with the Kinderhook Lakers, there is a spot for every player.
Formerly St. John's CYO. Proudly serving the Ichabod Crane community.
This winter KBA kicks off with an 8-week intramural league: 3–4 evenly matched teams per age group, one 75-minute session a week that blends practice and games. It's a fairer way to see every player over several weeks, gets kids “game ready” sooner, and helps us build our CYO and new Hudson Valley league teams.
Open to every registered player.

A fun, skills-first introduction to the game for first- and second-grade boys and girls. Dribbling, passing, shooting and teamwork — no experience needed.
Our 8-week intramural league leads into CYO (Troy Catholic Youth Organization) and Hudson Valley league play from October through March.
Competitive spring travel teams and Skills & Drills for younger players, with weekend tournaments across the Northeast from March to June.
KBA runs on volunteers — board members, coaches, coordinators, and families who help with admissions and concessions. That commitment keeps registration costs low and keeps the program close to the people it serves.
Volunteer or coach: email board@kinderhooklakers.com or note your interest on the registration form.
Sneaker donations: donate gently used sneakers to help keep kids in the game.
Apparel: KBA gear will be available for purchase soon — stay tuned!
