The Junior Jazz Program is open to all 3rd-8th Grade Girls and Boys in School District 25. Teams are organized by grade level and coached by volunteer coaches. Volunteers are needed to help this program run smoothly. Anyone contemplating coaching should contact the Parks and Recreation Office early so they can get organized. Games will be played at the four Pocatello Middle Schools on Saturdays in November and December (GIRLS) and February and March (BOYS). Games begin at 8:30am and may continue until 5pm. Player registration fee covers the cost of the jersey. Team pictures are an optional purchase during the season. All practice times in School District facilities are reserved by our department.
