Overview of Our Age-Specific Programs
To ensure our Little Boomers Basketball programs have something for children of all ages and abilities, we offer several different classes. From the ages of three to twelve, there are classes to suit everyone:
- Preschoolers (3-4) – This is designed to give preschoolers a fun and gentle introduction to movement, balance, and very basic basketball skills while positively engaging with others.
- Mini Boomers (4-5) – Our Mini Boomers Basketball Program is where children begin to develop fundamental skills while focusing on structured group play and learning how to be part of a team.
- Little Boomers (6-8) – At Little Boomers, children are encouraged to progress with skills such as passing and dribbling while being introduced to basic game strategy.
- Mighty Boomers (9-12) – Mighty Boomers is more focused on gameplay and is perfect for children who are ready to take part in competition and structured learning.
Every tier has been carefully designed to give your child a positive learning experience that helps them grow in a plethora of ways.
What to Expect from Your Child’s First Class
Starting at a Little Boomers Basketball program for the first time can be a little daunting, but don’t worry. Our team knows what it takes to ensure they settle in nicely.
After a friendly welcome and introduction, we will usually begin the session with a balance of skill drills and fun activities, depending on the specific needs of the children in the class.
We also ensure a low coach-to-child ratio so everyone gets the personalised learning they need. Check out our FAQs page to find out more about what to expect from your child’s first Little Boomers experience.
