Our preschool basketball program was developed by Sports and Exercise Scientists from the University of Technology Sydney.

Australia's first-ever Preschool Basketball Program!

Our play basketball program consists of basketball activities for preschoolers, all specially designed to focus on the Fundamental Movements Skills (FMS). Aside from basic skills, this program for kids targets quality areas 1 and 3 of the National Quality Standards (NQS), which sets a high national benchmark for early childhood education and outside school hours care services in Australia. Throughout our 8-week program, we incorporate gross motor movements such as balancing, throwing, catching, running, bouncing, galloping, shooting and more. All of these are fun and engaging activities within a safe environment. Our goal is to teach team sports through fun basketball games for a young age group. Most of the time, the basketball court is a new environment for boys and girls, and kids' basketball brings the energy and fun out of these active kids!

HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT MY CENTRE?

Children's Fundamental Movement Skills will be improved and developed through structured activities such as warm-up games and mini-basketball games.

Our Preschool Basketball Program is delivered by highly skilled coaches that have a passion for working with children.

Our program will focus on improving quality areas 1 and 3 of the NQS which will improve your overall ACEQA rating.

Our daycare program incorporates fortnightly themes that are designed to teach team sports skills such as sportsmanship and leadership. All the while, the mini boomers learn to play ball, upgrade their basketball skills, learn about good sportsmanship, and celebrate team spirit.

Little Boomers Basketball is the only daycare basketball program in Australia, and the activities we have designed are very unique to the market.

Our motivated coaches will travel to your centre to conduct the program each week consistently. With their professional coaching experience, they can structure activities to accommodate players across all skill levels, and also adjust the coaching strategy depending on a specific participant’s skill level. This is to ensure that all the players can play ball and have a positive experience with team sports.

BOOMERS GUARANTEE! If, by the end of the term, you or any parent isn’t satisfied with the level of our service, we will give you a FULL refund and a FREE basketball on top! That’s how certain we are that your centre will have a blast with our program and coaches.

"Little Boomers have just completed a term with our children at Panania Child Care Centre, and what a great experience they have had! The communication from the administration was fantastic, the coaches were amazing with such a young group of children and the children were so excited week to week to learn new skills and become the captain of the week! We look forward to another year with Buddy and his Little Boomers team."

Most parents are familiar with the school holidays - a time when kids have a break from school and can enjoy some downtime. But for many parents, a school holiday can be a time of stress, trying to keep their kids entertained. One option that is becoming increasingly popular is basketball for preschoolers.

School holiday camps are being run at schools and community centres across the country, giving kids the chance to learn the basics of playing a basketball game. And experts say that this is a great way for kids to stay active during the holidays. Sports and exercise scientists say that basketball is a great way for kids to develop coordination and balance. And while it's important for kids to have fun during the school holidays, playing sports can also be a great way for them to stay fit and healthy.

Here are some of the FAQs about our program:

Why teach basketball to preschoolers?

Most children at this age are just beginning to understand the concept of team sports, and basketball is a great introduction. Basketball is an excellent game for children of all age groups. It helps develop hand-eye coordination, teaches them the importance of teamwork, and is just plain fun. No matter what level your child is at, there are basketball activities that will be both fun and informative.

How do you teach basketball to young kids?

Getting young children interested in the game can be a challenge. That's why it's essential to have some age-appropriate basketball activities for preschoolers. One simple exercise is to have the child stand in front of a basket and try to toss a ball into it. You can set up a mini hoop for older preschoolers and have them shoot from a short distance.

What are some of the sample activities?

When it comes to basketball activities for preschoolers, child development experts recommend starting with simple games that emphasize motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

Another simple activity is to have the child stand near a wall and bounce the ball off of the wall. The child can then try to catch the ball.

Finally, you can set up a small net or hoop and have the child attempt to score baskets, leading to a fast-paced shooting game. This will help them to develop their shooting skills. With a little practice, they will be shooting hoops like pros in no time!
