Each age group is provided with the appropriate size basketball and hoop so that the children achieve the core skills of dribbling, passing and shooting from the beginning.
Our main focus is to teach each child to dribble the ball more than once by themselves. This takes focus and coordination and can be difficult for some young children to grasp without proper instruction. We then demonstrate chest passing and bounce passing the ball between teammates to help encourage social interaction and spatial awareness around others.
Shooting the basketball can be a difficult skill to master at any age, but we teach your kids to hold and release the ball correctly in a supportive and playful environment – a lot of our Sporters still like to dunk when they can!
With lots of laughter and music to keep your little ones engaged, our Basketball sessions will be a hit with your child!
