Rookie
The flagship program of CSBA Learn to Play, our Rookie class is for young hoopers aged 5-8 years old looking to take an exciting first step down their basketball path. The program offers five to eight year-olds the chance to work with experienced coaches on the very fundamental aspects of basketball. This is a non-competitive, supportive environment which uses a lot of game play to help these kids fall in love with the game.

Starter
The Starter program at CSBA invites 9-12 year old players to build on their foundations by developing a strong set of game-ready skills and a deeper understanding of basketball.

Learn to Play Tip-Off
Tip-Off is our program that focuses on bridging the gap between practice and playing. The class consists of guided games organised CSBA coaches, in small-sided or full-sided game format. Our staff act as a coach-referee hybrid, to ease the players into competitive basketball in a way that allows them to gain confidence and experience moving forward with the sport.
