Our Little-Boomers program was developed by Sports and Exercise Scientists from the University of Technology Sydney, to ensure we are providing the best possible program for children.
Establishing the foundation for your child to become a GOOD role model.
Our Little Boomers Basketball Program is our most popular Boomers basketball course for boys and girls ages 6-8. We develop more challenging gross-motor movements through shooting drills and other basic skills such as a lay-up. 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.
