Under 10s is our novice basketball program open to junior players aged between 7 and 10 years old, with at least some experience in team sports or basketball.
Weekly sessions include 45 minutes of training focused on game-skill acquisition followed by structured competition games. Players are sorted into teams after the first week and assigned a junior coach.
Game structure can change depending on attendance on the day, when numbers are low a single full game may be played. When multiple games are played, some players may need to wait after training for other teams to play before playing in their game.
