Our Mini-Boomers basketball 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.
Team sports teach life skills. The earlier your child starts, the better.
Our Mini Boomers program is our introductory learn to play basketball program for boys and girls ages 4-5. In this program, we have developed fun basketball games that will improve your child's basic basketball skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting. We also incorporate a game at the end of each session so children can become familiar with team dynamics at an early age. This program is a fantastic option to begin your child's basketball journey, especially if they have never touched a basketball before.
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT MY CHILD?
Fantastic stepping stone to prepare your child for kindergarten through an improvement in confidence and self-esteem from being included in a team
Our Mini Boomers program will improve your child's fundamental movement skills, which are a crucial learning milestone for that age group.
Fantastic opportunity to help get in that 60 minutes of physical activity recommended by the ABS for children.
Inclusion into a team sport early in a child's life will allow them to better develop team awareness and dynamics.
Safe and secure: All classes are held indoors and all coaches have valid working with children checks and qualifications

It's vital at that age (4-5) that children have a positive experience with team sports so they can become a better team player in the years to come.
