Junior Ballers is our introduction to the fun world of Basketball. Children are shown the basics of basketball with progression to structure and techniques. Parent participation may be required.

Mighty Ballers – 5 years to 7 years

Mighty ballers are confident with boundless energy and this is catered for in the lesson plans. Our classes are fast-paced and increasingly basketball focused, with fun still at the heart, meaning that even new starters easily pick them up.

Game Time Ballers – 7 years to 9 years

Game Time Baller classes incorporate our rounded learning approach of play, practice and understanding. Play is the motivator and promotes continued and repeat practice. This disguised learning in itself is a powerful tool, however we believe in not only teaching the children how to perform the skills, but also to understand why and where to use the skill in the real game.

 Buzzer Beater Ballers – 10 years to 12 years

This is getting serious! Open to boys and girls, our Buzzer Beater Ballers class is getting closer to the game and full court with natural player progression from our Game Time Ballers class. Participants will develop confidence in using their game, learn defensive and offensive fundamentals, whilst incorporating basic basketball tactics.
