Aussie Hoops is Basketball Australia’s official junior game development program for children in primary school. They learn basketball in a structured, inclusive and fun environment, developing fitness, skills and an understanding of the sport.  The Aussie Hoops program aims to give children the basic skills they need to progress to and enjoy playing actual games.  

Armidale Basketball is an Active Kids Provider so you can use the Active Kids Vouchers to help pay for the activity.  If you have any concerns, contact Judy. Forgot your email? Contact Judy.  Don’t know about Active Kids Vouchers?? Check out the link:  ACTIVE KIDS VOUCHERS NSW
