Aussie Hoops is our introductory Learn to Play program, designed to nurture the next generation of basketballers. Using a games for understanding approach, where kids learn skills and basic principles of play through fun and engaging games tailored to support development. After the 7-week program, participants are encouraged to graduate to our U9 & U12 Summer and Winter competitions.

We offer separate programs for grades 1-2 and 3-6 to ensure that the coaching is tailored to your child’s developmental stage of learning.  Our Aussie Hoops term wraps up with a Gala Day held at Moruya (Saturday 29 March), where participants across all three hubs come together for fun games and a modified 5 v 5 basketball tournament.

Here’s what we cover in the 7 weeks, all taught through fun and engaging games.

• Dribbling technique, protecting the ball and weaving through traffic
• Shooting technique and layups
• Passing and catching
• Defense
• South Coast Hoops ‘Rookie’ principles of play

$140 for new participants which includes an AH player pack.  $100 for returning players (no pack).
