This free basketball clinic gives school-aged kids a fun, skill-focused start to their weekend. Designed for ages 10 to 13, it balances skill development, confidence building and game sense in a welcoming setting. Parents can expect structured coaching that keeps kids active and engaged while developing real basketball skills.
You will drop your child into an upbeat, positive environment where coaches focus on fundamentals like dribbling, passing, shooting and movement. The clinic emphasises safe play, teamwork and building confidence, with coaches using age-appropriate drills and games to keep youngsters motivated.
- Station-based skill work and small-sided games to practice new techniques
- Progressions for different ability levels so every child is challenged
- Fun scrimmages to put skills into play and encourage teamwork
By the end of each session children will have practised specific basketball skills and played in short game situations that boost their understanding of teamwork and sportsmanship. This is a great introduction to kids basketball and youth sports for families in Cumberland City looking for active weekend activities.
Sessions run on Saturdays in February 2026 and focus on repetition through fun drills and guided practice. Each session is coached to suit 10 to 13 year olds and keeps a reasonable coach-to-player ratio so each child receives attention on skill development.
Requirements and what to bring:
- Wear comfortable active clothing and enclosed sport shoes
- Bring a refillable water bottle and a light snack for after the session
- Arrive ready to start at the scheduled time for warm-ups and drills
Coaches will cater to mixed experience levels and encourage progression; families can expect a balance of instruction and play. This clinic is ideal for beginners wanting a solid foundation as well as kids who want to tighten up fundamentals.
The clinic takes place at Berala Community Centre, 98 Woodburn Road, Berala in Cumberland City. The venue is a well-known local community centre with indoor space suitable for basketball drills and small-sided games.
Getting there is straightforward for families: there is limited on-site parking and local street parking nearby, and the centre is accessible by local bus routes and a short drive from surrounding suburbs. Plan for drop-off and pick-up close to the scheduled times to keep transitions smooth for the children.
The venue aims to be accessible; if you have specific access needs please contact the Council ahead of the session so arrangements can be discussed. This helps ensure a comfortable experience for all participants and carers.
Sessions are supervised by qualified coaches and volunteers who focus on safety and positive encouragement throughout the clinic. Parents are asked to remain contactable during the session in case of any incidents or questions.
