What actually happens at a basketball birthday party? If your child is begging for one, you’re probably picturing a crowd of excited kids and wondering who keeps it all running.
The good news is that a Little Boomers basketball birthday party is a full hour of coach-led games. The coach runs the party, so you can relax and enjoy the day with your child.
A basketball birthday party is a one-hour, coach-led party for kids aged 4 to 12. An accredited coach runs organised basketball games for the whole group, all equipment is provided, and the birthday child gets a training kit, medal and basketball to take home.
What happens at a basketball birthday party?
A Little Boomers party is an hour of organised, high-energy basketball games led by a coach. It isn’t free play. The coach runs the games for the whole group from start to finish.
Who runs the party?
A professional kids sports coach runs the party. Every coach is WWCC-checked and accredited, so you know your guests are in safe hands.
What do the kids actually do?
The kids play organised basketball games and drills for the full hour. The coach adjusts the games on the spot to suit the group, so everyone stays involved.
What makes it special for the birthday child?
The birthday child takes home their own Little Boomers training kit, a medal and a basketball. It’s a gift they can keep using long after the party ends.
Is a kids basketball party right for my child’s age?
Yes, if your child is aged 4 to 12. Little Boomers basketball parties are designed for this age range.
Can kids who have never played basketball join in?
Yes, they can. Coaches change the games and drills to match the group’s skill level, so first-timers can have just as much fun as kids who already play.
What if the guests are different ages?
That’s fine. Because the coach adjusts the activities to the group in front of them, parties work for beginners and experienced players.
What’s included in the party packages?
Every package includes a one-hour party, an accredited coach, all equipment and one birthday present. The package you choose depends on how many kids are coming.
Which package suits our group size?
- Bronze: up to 20 children, one coach
- Silver: 21 to 30 children, one coach
- Gold: 31 or more children, two coaches
Two birthday children can share a joint party too. Prices depend on the package and number of kids, so visit the Birthday Parties page to get a quote.
What do I need to organise myself?
You organise the food and the venue. The coach brings everything else, including hoops and basketballs, and there’s no clean-up for you afterwards. Since food isn’t included, you can plan food and cake around the hour of games.
Where can the party be held?
The party can be held at an indoor court, an outdoor court, a community centre or your own backyard. If you’re not sure where to go, the team can recommend a suitable local venue.
