The Importance of Physical Exercise and Playing Sports at a Young Age
The Vicinity Centres Aussie Hoops program is Basketball Queensland’s junior game development program for primary school aged children. The nationally accredited program encourages kids aged 5 – 10 to live an active lifestyle whilst also fostering a lifetime of involvement in basketball.
Why You Should Get Your Kids Into Basketball
It’s no secret that active kids are more likely to become active adults, and kids today have a plethora of choices when it comes to choosing what sports they want to play. The Federal Government have partnered with 30 national sporting organisations, including Basketball Queensland to create Sporting Schools, a program designed to help foster children’s interest and engagement in sport from an early age.
