About the Program
Our GameBreakers program offer young children to take the first step towards team basketball and join our in-house “recreational basketball league” for children 6 – 8 years old. This league focuses on introducing children to the team-play aspect of the sport. Each week players will have a mini team practice and modified rules / game-play on 8 foot hoops.
