Designed for children aged 3 to 5 years, Mini Hoopers is a Brand NEW fun and engaging basketball program run by Central Coast Basketball.
The program teaches your little ones the fundamentals of basketball while also developing essential skills such as hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills, basic counting, social skills, and learning to take turns.
During the sessions, children will do a general warm up, play colour- and number-recognition games, learn how to pass, catch, dribble, shoot, and take part in obstacle courses. We know that when kids engage in fun, active programs such as this, it builds a foundation for future sports participation and develops a love for physical activity, so the benefits continue long beyond each term!
Registration comes with a pack of goodies too – a size 2 ball, Mini Hoopers Singlet and water bottle for your tot, plus a Keep Cup coffee mug for their carer. Love that!
We like that these sessions cater to ages 3 to 5, as it means siblings can often do it together. And that there is winning for the kids and the adults.
Central Coast Basketball also runs development programs for older kids. Scroll down to learn more about them, too.

If your child hopes to improve their basketball knowledge and skills – such as shooting, ball handling, footwork and teamwork – this is the program for them. These sessions are run by accredited coaches who are current and former Crusaders players, and they all have plenty of experience working with children of all ages.
School holiday camps: In the school holidays, Central Coast Basketball runs multiple basketball camps. The camps are split into age groups and skill levels and occasionally they host women-only camps, too. Check out their website for the latest camp offerings.
