The Lil'Ballers Summer Camp programs focuses on introducing basketball fundamentals in a fun and interactive way for kids.
We are one of a select few programs across Canada that will be offering their flagship entry-level basketball program, the Jr NBA. The goal of this program will be to provide a fun, active and healthy learning environment for young kids (Grades K-2).
The curriculum has been developed by NBA Basketball Operations and a team of experts in child development, physical literacy, and basketball fundamentals. These experts have made sure the curriculum is compliant with Canada Basketball’s (LTAD) Long-Term Athlete Development model.
The program will include games that are modified to be age-appropriate and use age-appropriate equipment such as smaller basketballs and lowered hoops.
Considerable time will be dedicated to creating a fundamentally sound base and habits that can be carried forward. The day will consist of basketball, GLO with limited downtime allotted for crafts and basketball-related activities.
Kids will also be introduced to modified 3v3 and 4v4 games as a way to bridge the gap to house league & rep programs!
