Baller Babies

A fun introduction to basketball

Basketball classes for toddlers and young children

Most children in the UK pick up a basketball for the first time quite late in their development. We aim to change that. By introducing the sport as early as possible. Baller Babies is one of the few programmes in London and the South East that provide fun and interactive basketball classes for toddlers as young as 18 months old. Our classes take place at Oasis Hadley (Ponders End, Enfield) and St. Mary’s C.E Primary School (Finchley).

We also deliver bespoke weekly basketball sessions in nurseries and primary schools.

We strive to help children develop physical and social skills that can be transferred to all aspects of daily life.

Who are our sessions for?

The crawlers

Fun sessions for children aged 18 months to 3 years. Focusing on hand and eye co-ordination and sensory games. Delivered within your nursery or pre-school setting.

The runners

These sessions are designed for children aged 4 to 6 years. Where we gradually introduce and develop the foundations of basketball through more specific drills and games.
