Kids Basketball Classes Girraween

The old myth – kids need to be tall to play basketball

Does your child need to be genetically gifted with height to play basketball? Absolutely not.

There’s a funny old myth that to play basketball you need to be tall. This couldn’t be any more wrong. At Little Boomers, we have created a kids basketball training program that is designed for everyone, including children who have never touched a basketball and those with experience. We utilise adjustable hoops to cater for younger kids and use different size basketballs that allow children to hold and grip the basketball.

All our junior basketball training programs in Girraween, are delivered by highly skilled and motivated coaches that will develop your child’s basketball skills in a fun and friendly environment that they can’t wait for each week.

Which type of basketball training program is best for my child?

Another great question and that all depends on your child’s age. All our kids basketball programs in Girraween are age-specific, meaning the skills are relevant to your child’s age A ten year old, shouldn’t be practising the same skills that a five year old would be, for example.

• PRESCHOOLERS (Ages 3-4) – This basketball training program will help develop your child’s fundamental movement skills which is a crucial learning milestone.
• MINI BOOMERS (Ages 4-5) – Our introductory kids basketball program that builds on a range of basic basketball skills and includes a game to improve social skills.
• LITTLE BOOMERS (Ages 6-8) – This basketball training program focuses on building the basics but also develops more advanced basketball fundamentals such as the lay-up, suitable for that age group.
• MIGHTY BOOMERS (Ages 9-12) – This program teaches and develops important game skills but also helps improve a range of fundamental basketball skills that are needed to be learnt early on.
