Beginner Programs

The Nunawading Basketball Development Programs deliver high-quality fundamental skill development and a fun learning environment. Providing boys and girls with a fun and safe basketball experience that serves as an introduction to a lifetime of involvement in the game.

Children learn the fundamental motor skills for future physical activity and sports participation along with the basics of fitness conditioning, team work and well-being. Important physiological and mental skills are nurtured, and respect for others as well as social, teamwork, and cooperation skills are developed.

Our programs are designed by our elite-level coaches for multi-functional environments, creating greater self-confidence and fostering a sense of teamwork for young athletes while focusing on basketball fundamentals. 

After 2-3 terms, participants are encouraged to pursue a team with one of our domestic clubs. You can find a list of our junior domestic clubs here.
