Basketball Program
The Basketball Program at the Boys & Girls Club of Garfield is an enriching environment where young athletes develop discipline, coordination, and teamwork. The program is not just about learning the game; it’s a place where youth can grow, both in their athletic skills and in their capacity to work as part of a team.
