Shots 4 Tots (3 and 4 years) [NEW]
This is for our littlest ballers, usually kinder age, around 3 to 4 years old. It runs mid-morning rather than after school, which makes it great for families who want something fun and active before lunch.
It’s not about perfect technique. It’s more like a playful intro to movement, using a basketball theme. We focus on simple things like balance, coordination, running, stopping, jumping, rolling a ball, catching, and little dribbles in a way that feels like games, not drills. The goal is simple: help kids build confidence in
their bodies, enjoy being active, and start feeling comfortable in a sports environment.
All Girls
Run by girls, for girls. It’s a fun, comfortable environment where girls don’t feel like they have to take a back seat.
Your coach will be Steph, national Aussie Hoops Coach of the Year award winner.

All Abilities Aussie Hoops
Gives all abilities kids an opportunity to participate alongside mainstream program, so it’s a hybrid. There are support workers that specialise that accompany the kids in that session and still, everyone can join.
If the time-slot suits you best, come along and join in.
