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

Preparing Your Child for the Transition to High School

Our Mighty Boomers program for boys and girls ages 9-12 is designed to equip your child with the skills, confidence, and character they need to navigate the important transition from primary to secondary school. Whether your child is new to basketball or an experienced player, this program focuses on teaching teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership—essential life skills that will serve them well both on and off the court. Through engaging drills and activities, we help your child build their basketball abilities while boosting their self-assurance in a supportive, team-based environment. Each session ends with a fun game that allows your child to put their skills into practice, further developing their confidence and ability to thrive in group settings. Our Mighty Boomers program is more than just basketball—it’s about helping your child grow into a well-rounded individual ready to take on new challenges with resilience and positivity. Teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership are some of the life skills that your child will learn in our Mighty Boomers program, which will help guide them when they move into high school. We also incorporate a game at the end of each session so children can develop their confidence both on and off the court.

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT MY CHILD?

Boost Physical Fitness: Each session includes dynamic drills and concludes with an exciting full-court game, keeping kids active while refining their skills.

Safe and Supportive Environment: All classes are held indoors, led by experienced and qualified coaches with valid working-with-children checks, so your child is always in safe hands.

Build Life Skills Through Team Sports: Playing basketball fosters essential skills like teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership—qualities that individual sports don’t focus on as deeply.

Elevate Competitive Skills: Our program emphasizes advanced techniques to help your child excel in competitions while learning the value of hard work and perseverance.

Engaging and Inclusive Games: We design our activities to be fun yet challenging, ensuring they’re easy to learn but offer enough complexity to engage and push every participant.

Encourage Positive Team Sport Experiences: At this critical age, having a positive introduction to team sports is key to developing cooperation, resilience, and the confidence to succeed in any group setting.
