Brief run down on Program:

This is an open drop in centre for any youth aged between 10 and 17 years old who wish to play Basketball. The initial thought would be to play basketball and hopefully transition the youth into a local basketball club. Supervision will be supplied as well as coaches and staff to assist with the program. Possible transport maybe available dependant on numbers in attendance.

Coaching staff will be provided by East Perth Basketball Association to mentor and improve the skills of the attendees.

We hope to further develop the youth’s interaction with other kids and also provide a fun safe environment to exercise and have fun.

Clothing to be worn:

Strongly advised to wear a non-marking soled shoe and adequate clothes to run around in. Water bottle to accompany child if possible please.
