This is the letter about updates for GNK Titan Basketball:
October 7, 2025
Dear GNK Titan basketball families,

We are excited to announce that given the co-op agreement at the boys and girls high school level, we are also going to co-op at the youth levels. This move should lead to an even stronger and more enhanced basketball experience. The program will be administered through the Greenway Joint Recreation Association and aims to foster the development of our young student athletes, promoting skill development, teamwork, sportsmanship, community spirit, and a love for the game.

BOYS AND GIRS IN GRADES K-2 will be participating in a house league. This is an introductor level program designed to teach basketball fundamentals. All athletes will meet 1-2 times per week, and practices will alternate equally between sites at Greenway and Nashwauk-Keewatin. Athletes will be divided into equal teams which will also scrimmage on Saturdays. The program begins the week of November 10th and will run through the 20th of December. The cost will be $35.00 which includes a jersey/shirt for the athlete to keep.

BOYS AND GIRLS IN GRADES 3-6 will play in the NEC (Northeast Conference). We plan to have boys’ teams at the 3rd/ 4th grade level as well as boys’ teams at the 5th/6 th grade level. For girls, there will be teams at the 3rd/4th grade level and teams at the 5th/6th grade level. Practices will be held 2-3 times weekly and alternate equally between sites at Greenway and Nashwauk. In addition to practice time, the NEC is designed to elevate player
development through competitive game play. Although the NEC has yet to release a schedule, the games will start the first Saturday in December and run through the end of February with host sites across the Iron Range. Our goal is to host one weekend date at
each of our sites but has yet to be determined. The cost of this program is $85.00, and a team jersey will be provided and then collected at season’s end.

Additionally, we are looking for coaches so please reach out if you are interested.

Go to GreenwayRec.org to register.

Further information regarding the program may also be found on that site once the season has begun. This information can also be found on Facebook using the Greenway Rec page.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to:
