3. How do I pay for Young Ballerz Basketball?

Your first class with us is FREE as a trial, but the remainder of the term is required upfront before your child attends, which streamlines the booking process.

Payments are taken securely via Stripe.

 

4. Are all your staff qualified to coach and look after children?

Yes. All our staff will go through our rigorous screening process, which includes on-the-job training, qualification & enhanced DBS checks. All Head and Lead coaches will also possess at least a Level 2 coaching badge. This ensures all staff members are fit to work with children and are good at it!

 

5. What can we expect from a Young Ballerz Basketball Class?

Above all, your child will have fun at all Young Ballerz Basketball classes. We encourage them, ensure they have fun and participate, and increase their social confidence. Our coaches will adapt and change any of the classes where needed. We always aim to operate our classes in a pressure-free environment.

 

6. What do your classes cost?

The cost of classes at each location may vary; please check with each venue at the time of booking. After your child's FREE trial, fees are payable for the remainder of the term.

 

7. How does the FREE trial class work?

To ensure your child is comfortable with our classes, we offer them the chance to try us out for FREE. This gives you peace of mind before committing to a full term's fees.

 

8. How long are the classes?

All classes will run for 45 minutes, with time allocated before and after to allow you to speak to the coaches about your Ballerz.

 

9. What does my child need to bring?

A water bottle is a must, and maybe a healthy snack after class.

 

10. What should my child wear?

Please see Class Etiquette here for full details.

 

11. How serious is the coaching?

We have developed these classes so your child can have fun, participate, and increase social confidence. Skills and techniques will be introduced, but we will not force children to learn a certain way. We aim to give them the tools they need to progress further within the sport of basketball and, above all, to have lots of fun.

 

12. Will my child play in any matches or competitions against other teams?

We take pride in offering enjoyable and interactive classes tailored to children of various abilities. Our belief is centred around prioritising fun as the core component of our classes, as we understand it fosters ongoing engagement. We do not participate in leagues or arrange competitions with other organisations. However, at the end of each term, we host an event where children can demonstrate their newfound skills in a safe and enjoyable environment. Children within a specified area are invited to interact with peers from other classes in their area and age group.

Here's what to expect based on your age group:

  • Minis: You'll join a larger class with additional coaches and participate in activities similar to your regular class.
  • Littles: You'll engage in small, organised matches against other classes in your area, with some flexibility in rules to accommodate learning.
  • Bigs: Similar to Littles, you'll partake in small, organised matches against other classes in your area, with a stronger emphasis on adhering to basketball rules.

Please speak with your coach to learn more about your area's upcoming end-of-term event.
