Our Mighty-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.
Our program will help transition your child from primary to secondary school
Our Mighty Boomers program is designed specifically for boys and girls ages 9-12. Suitable for children of all skill levels, our kid's basketball training program will develop the skills and confidence that will help your child transition into high school. 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?
Fantastic opportunity to improve physical fitness as we incorporate a full court game at the end of each session
Safe and secure: All classes are held indoors and all coaches have valid working with children checks and qualifications
Inclusion into a team sport will build important skills such as sportsmanship, teamwork and leadership that individual sports can’t focus on.
Advanced skill development that will help your child compete in competitions.
The games we have designed are adaptable to all children making them easy to learn, fun but also challenging at the same time.
It's vital at that age (9-12) that children have a positive experience with team sports so they can become a better team player in the years to come.
