The Climbers U10 Basketball Program is designed to provide young female athletes with a holistic approach to the game, focusing on skill development, fundamental movement training, team building, and confidence building. Our goal is to equip each player with the tools they need to succeed—both on and off the court.

This is a registered program with limited capacity, not a tryout-based team. Athletes practice and compete on age-appropriate 8.5 ft nets to support proper development and build confidence in gameplay.

Structure:

Skill Development

  • Weekly practices (2x) focus on basketball fundamentals including dribbling, shooting, passing, and defense.

  • Age-appropriate drills enhance coordination, basketball IQ, and overall skill proficiency.

Fundamental Movement Training

  • Dedicated sessions develop key physical attributes like agility, speed, balance, and strength.

  • Exercises improve body control and athleticism—foundational for success in basketball and other sports.

Team Building

  • Teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship are emphasized through collaborative drills and group activities.

  • Builds a sense of camaraderie and teaches players how to work together to achieve shared goals.

Confidence Boosting

  • A supportive environment and positive reinforcement help players build self-esteem.

  • Athletes are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones, develop resilience, and trust their abilities.

Tournament Participation

  • A fun opportunity to experience their first "away" tournament and apply what they've learned in a real game setting.

  • Focuses on learning through experience, fair play, and sportsmanship.

  • This tournament is TBD. If it does not go ahead due to a lack of teams, an alternative will be arranged by our club.
