Welcome to the Junior Tritons.
St. Petersburg’s largest recreational youth basketball league.
Since 1987, our organization has been dedicated to providing the opportunity for boys and girls from the ages of 6 to 16 to learn the game, develop their skills and compete with other children of similar skill level.
More than 35 years later, we’re still committed to introducing as many kids as possible into the incredible game of basketball.

Please note: We do not allow established travel teams (AAU, Super-6, etc.) in our League.
HOW ARE TEAMS ASSIGNED
Players are assigned to a team based upon their skill level. Our League Directors strive to create teams that are as equally matched as possible.
WHICH DIVISION is for you
Players are assigned to a division based upon their age as of August 31st of the current calendar year.
D-LEAGUE: 6 - 7 years old • D1: 8 - 9 years old
D2: 10 - 11 years old • D3: 12 - 13 years old
D4: 14 - 16 years old
what about playing time
We are an instructional league, so we have a strict set of rules which includes playing time. Each of our coaches have agreed to follow these rules while coaching in our League.
THE LEGACY OF OUR LEAGUE
In 1987, a small group of basketball parents founded the North St. Pete Youth Basketball League. A few years later with a little help from a certain NBA team, we became known as the Junior Magic.
Then, in 2011 we adopted our current name and are dedicated to improving the lives of student-athletes living in the St. Petersburg community.
