Our Little Boomers program was developed by a University of Technology Sydney graduate, ensuring we deliver the highest-quality program for children.

Building Skills and Character: A Program for Future Role Models

Our Little Boomers Basketball Program for boys and girls ages 6-8 is designed to take your child’s basketball skills—and character—to the next level. As our most popular program, it focuses on refining gross motor skills and introducing more advanced techniques like shooting drills and lay-ups, which require coordination and concentration. But it’s not just about basketball—it’s about building the foundation for your child to become a positive role model. Each week, we incorporate our “CAPTAINS” program during games, recognizing players who demonstrate qualities like good sportsmanship, teamwork, and leadership. This program is perfect for children who want to grow as athletes while learning important life skills, all in a fun, supportive, and inspiring environment. Watch your child thrive as they develop confidence, coordination, and character on and off the court! This requires a high amount of coordination, allowing your child to progress in skill level. Every week, we also implement the program "CAPTAINS" during a basketball game, for those who display good sportsmanship and other attributes of a good role model.
