Basketball Basics is a YMCA basketball skills development program for children ages 5 to 12. The program is ideal for budding basketball players who wish to develop and master the skills of basketball without the pressure of competition.
Trained and experienced staff will teach each child the basic skills of basketball including dribbling, passing, catching, shooting and rebounding. The classes are made to be “fun” and are designed for children who may not have played the game before or who want to improve their current skills.
Based on the 4 F's (fun, fundamentals, friends and fitness) the emphasis is on having fun in small groups while learning the game and its skills in achievable stages.
Age: 5 - 12 Years
Thursday: from 4:00 pm
All Sessions follow the State School Terms and Holidays
