About
Downey Junior Athletic Association Basketball is part of a multi-sport program that includes basketball, flag football, and baseball. The program runs separate seasons for each sport, with basketball offered on a set schedule each year.
• Ages: 5–13 years old
• Schedule: Basketball registration takes place in November, with the season running from the first Saturday in January through the second Saturday in March.
• Price: Registration is $120 per sport per player, and this fee includes trophies, pictures, and officials; uniforms are not included, and discounts are available for families with multiple children playing.
Downey Junior Athletic Association is a city co-sponsored non-profit youth volunteer organization that has been serving Downey’s youth since 1954. Its stated purpose is that every player, regardless of ability, is afforded the opportunity to learn and play sports in an atmosphere where competition exists but has a low profile. The organization notes that every player plays, there are no try outs, and there are no weigh ins. All players, including returning players, must register at an open registration date, and all new players must show proof of age at registration using a birth certificate, most recent report card, school ID, or passport. Once new players are registered, they are placed in divisions strictly by grade and put into a pool draw, which is a blind draft used by teams that need players. Once a player is placed on a team, they remain on that team until the end of the current sport, and to stay eligible with the same team, a player must play two of the three sports with that team. The organization notes that its site is for information only and that it was last updated on 5/24/2026.
