About
Hands On Hoops/Little Dunkers is unique because we focus on kids, between ages 16 months and 6 years, dunking the basketball!

In all seriousness, learning to play basketball is a process; kids will play on an adjustable basket with mini basketballs, learn to catch and pass a basketball, shoot the ball correctly, play defense and rebound.

Kids will also have fun, and dance and sing to music. Kids will walk away excited and inspired after they shoot mini basketballs on our adjustable baskets.

We try to have age-appropriate lessons with different-sized baskets, but exceptions apply for siblings who are different ages and to accommodate schedules and last minute bookings.
When to arrive:
15 minutes before
Additional details:
The class is for any child who cannot reach a regulation basket when shooting a basketball or shoot correctly.
Cancellation policy:
6 hours in advance
Caregiver required:
Yes

Anything less than 5 stars would be an insult. Excellent program for kids of all mindsets, great way for kids to interact (or learn to interact) with other children of different ages and races. My son already loves basketball, so for him to have a grand instructor like Mike, to be able to tend to the whole team and yet give special attention to those who need it, while making learning fun, I can say that my son and I have a “BALL.”

My 1.5 year old and 3.5 year old went to this class and I was SO impressed. They actually learned a ton of great skills, positive thinking (the coach taught them to say "I can do it!"), and had so much fun. The coach is really great with kids and had the perfect equipment to do age-appropriate drills. My older son in particular really loved it. We will definitely be back!

My 4 year old boys love the class! Coach Mike makes the class fun and teaches them the fundamentals of basketball while keeping them focused and fully engaged.

About
Hands On Hoops (HOH) is a program where boys and girls aged 2 to 6 can grow and develop new basketball and life skills while not feeling the pressure to be perfect.

Hands On Hoops basketball coaches understand that kids, after learning something new, need to be free to make mistakes so they can learn through trial and error in a safe, empowering, and supportive environment. The process continues as kids apply the skill in drills and games until they acquire success.
