New Jersey Basketball Club (NJBC) is a youth basketball organization based out of Union County, New Jersey focused on teaching players how to play and understand the game of basketball. NJBC utilizes a games-based approach to coaching through the use of small-sided games (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4) to maximize learning and transfer from practice to the game and to create a more permanent change in performance. This allows for more player involvement (as compared to individual drills) by increased time possessing the ball, resulting in a substantial opportunity to improve and more enjoyment. Too many players focus on becoming great at flashy drills that do not correlate to the game. Basketball is a game of decision-making; we focus on improving players' decision-making by spending most of our time playing against a defense. 

​

NJBC is founded by Jonathan Toczynski (JT), current Head Boys Basketball Coach at Woodbridge High School and former Bergen Catholic High School Varsity Assistant Basketball Coach. Coach JT is a USA Basketball Licensed Coach, as well as a former coach at Snow Valley Iowa Basketball School, recognized by Sports Illustrated as one of the nation's top basketball camps.
