With the success of our term basketball classes, Little Boomers created a program designed just for OOSH. We travel to you and bring everything, including basketballs and adjustable hoops for younger children. Every session teaches fundamental movement skills, then finishes with a game so children learn the rules, work as a team, and build communication, all while having fun.
Simple to run, easy to fit into your afternoon
We handle everything. Your educators can join in or use the time to step back and document. All you provide is a space and a regular weekly slot.
We come to you
Our coaches travel to your centre each week on a consistent, reliable basis. No transport, no excursions, no extra work for your team.
Everything provided
Basketballs and adjustable hoops for younger children are brought to every session. Your educators simply help settle the group.

Our program helps develop
Self-confidence
Learning fun basketball skills and playing in a team lifts a child's confidence both on the court and off.
Team work
The game at the end gets children communicating with each other on court to build social and team skills.
Gross motor skills
Hurdles, ladders and structured activities are designed to improve gross motor development.
Co-ordination
Dribbling and shooting build hand-eye coordination, especially where it is still developing.
Energy & focus
Studies show physical activity helps increase energy levels and focus for the rest of the day.
Communication skills
Built through socialising and working with teammates of the same age in a team environment.
Peace of mind for your centre
We know a director cannot welcome an external program without the right checks in place. We make compliance simple.
Working With Children Checks
Every coach holds a current Working With Children Check, available for your records on request.

OOSH FAQs
What ages is the program for?
The program is built for school-age children, roughly 5 to 12. We group children by age so the skills and activities suit each stage.
How long is each session and how often?
Sessions run for around an hour, on the same day each week throughout the term. We agree a regular time slot that fits your afternoon routine.
What space do we need?
An indoor or outdoor area large enough for the children to move freely is all we need. We bring all the equipment, including adjustable hoops for younger children.
Do our educators need to run the session?
No. Our coaches lead and manage the whole session. Your educators stay present for supervision and can join in or use the time to observe and document.
Are your coaches checked?
Yes. Every coach holds a current Working With Children Check and follows child safe practices, working alongside your educators at all times. We can provide our checks for your records before we start.
Is there a minimum number of children?
We work with a range of group sizes. Tell us how many children you have and we will recommend the best format.
What about the school holidays?
We also run vacation care basketball programs, so we can keep the children active and engaged during the holiday period. Just ask when you enquire.
