little BALLERS believes that young children are energetic, curious, imaginative and capable. Our basketball classes are strategically designed to be developmentally appropriate and highlight the way preschool and early years age children think and learn. We use adjustable basketball hoops that adjust from 2' to 4' for babies and 4' to 6.5' so every child in the program has a chance to make shots and build their confidence. We use age appropriate sized basketballs so each child feels comfortable and gets the most out of each activity. Sessions are delivered in a similar format each time to provide consistency and routine for learners. Our high teacher to student ratio of 1 teacher per 5 children ensures each child is given the attention they need to develop. Sessions feature early learning basics such as; counting, colours, matching, oral comprehension and imaginative play. We believe in a pressure-free, fun environment where children can be themselves and are valued for their unique qualities. Our specially designed Game Ball Curriculum balances basic movement skills with sports related skills little BALLERS are excited about. The result is fun, confidence and an introduction to the foundations of physical literacy.
