The essentials before their first session.
Have a question about equipment, staying during sessions, or your child’s needs? Ask Michael before registering.
Which age group should I choose?
Groups are based on birth year, rather than your child’s age on the first day. First Bounce is for children born in 2020–2022 and runs from 5:30–6:30 PM. Fundamentals is for girls born in 2017–2019 and runs from 6:30–7:30 PM. Both programs meet on Tuesdays. If you’re unsure which group fits your child, email Michael before registering.
Does my child need basketball or sports experience?
No. Both groups welcome new players as well as children who have tried basketball before. Parents and guardians don’t need to know the rules or teach the skills beforehand. We explain activities clearly and give children time to practice.
What does the $125 fee cover?
The program fee is $125 per child for all seven one-hour Tuesday sessions, from October 27 through December 8, 2026. The full program fee is paid at registration.
