Triple Play: A Game Plan for the Mind, Body, and Soul

Triple Play is a health and wellness program designed to empower young people to make informed decisions about their physical, mental, and social well-being. The goal of Triple Play is to improve our Club members' knowledge of healthy habits, good nutrition and physical fitness; increase the number of hours per day they participate in physical activities; and strengthen their ability to interact positively with others and engage in healthy relationships.

Flag Football League

From September to November, the autumn air around the Club is filled with the shouts of flag football players calling signals and trying to burst through the line for that extra yard. For youth, ages 8-18, our flag football league is an offshoot of a Boys & Girls Clubs of America initiative, affiliated with the National Football League.

Nets High School Basketball League

Through collaboration with the New Jersey Nets, the Club offers basketball leagues for high school students. The Nets provide jerseys for each member and field trip opportunities to watch Nets games.

Travel Team Program

The Boys & Girls Club's "TEAM RJ" (Richard Jefferson) Mack~Cali Basketball Travel Team Program has won 32 AAU State Championships. Our teams have placed 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 11th and 12th in the nation.

The Travel Team Program prides itself on the quality of the instruction our players receive. Our coaches provide the expertise and supervision that parents and their children desire. Parents have the confidence their children are being instructed by adults who are teaching them about life as well as basketball.

The innovative Academic Basketball Program encourages members to behave in school, appropriately resolve conflicts, and develop their athletic skills. Fourth - sixth grade members score points in three way: by submitting "behavior reward points" on point cards completed by their teachers, participating i conflict resolution workshops, and athletically in the basketball game.
