A nonprofit youth travel basketball program where kids from two school districts come together as one team to learn the game, grow their skills, and have a blast doing it.
The ARK-CAN Nighthawks give young athletes from the Arkport and Canaseraga school districts the chance to play organized travel basketball close to home. We focus on fundamentals, effort, and character — on and off the court.
Dribbling, passing, shooting, defense, and the rules of the game — taught step by step by volunteer coaches who meet every player where they are.
Sportsmanship, respect for coaches and officials, hustle, and being a good teammate. Win or lose, Nighthawks play hard and play the right way.
Bringing families from two neighboring communities together in the stands, on the bench, and on the court — building friendships that last.
Students in grades 2 through 6 who live in or attend the Arkport or Canaseraga school districts. No experience needed.
Players are grouped by grade and skill level. Practices focus on fundamentals and team play in local school gyms.
Teams compete against other youth programs in the region, giving players real game experience in a fun, supportive setting.
Registration dates, fees, and practice schedules are announced each season. Check back here or contact a board member.
Whether you have a player, a free evening, or a business that wants to give back, there is a place for you.
Register your child for the upcoming season.
Our program runs on parents and community members who give their time.
As a nonprofit, every dollar goes back to the kids.
