Welcome to WizKidz!

2019 will see the launch of the WizKidz program (formerly Aussie Hoops). WizKidz is the Northside Wizards very own recruitment and development program, designed to introduce our youngest players and their families to the sport of basketball. It is specifically developed for children aged between 4 and 10 years who have minimal experience playing in organised sporting competitions.

Wizkidz consists of a series of structured programs explicitly developed to teach the skills and rules associated with playing basketball. WizKidz sessions are game-based (as opposed to drill-based) with a focus towards motorskill development in a social, fun and safe environment. Players are taught how to enjoy the sport and play the game fairly, simultaneously preparing them to join a team in our organised club competition. WizKidz consists of the following programs:

WizKidz Rookies Program (4 to 6 years)

For our youngest players, this is primarily a motor-skill development program which exposes children between 4 and 6 years to bouncing, throwing, shooting and teamwork activities. The program is delivered in term blocks (approximately 8 weeks) on a modified court during the after-school and weekend timeslots. It runs during the school term, but not during school holidays. All NEW participants will recieve the WizKidz team pack, which includes a basketball, reversible singlet and draw string-bag.

WizKidz Starters Program (7 to 10 years)

This introduction to basketball program aims to teach children aged between 7 and 10 years the skills and rules of the game. Players will have fun learning how to shoot, dribble and pass as they begin to play actual games of basketball. The program is delivered at multiple venues in term blocks (approximately 8 weeks) on a modified court in the after-school timeslot. It runs during the school term but not during school holidays. All NEW participants will recieve the WizKidz team pack, which includes a basketball, reversible singlet and draw-string bag.

WizKidz Allstars and Hoop Girlz Competitions (7 to 10 years)

It is recommended that a new player completes a Rookies or Starters program first, or alternately have some experience playing organised sport. The Allstars and the Hoop Girlz competitions give opportunity for boys and girls to play in organised games as they continue to learn and prepare for club competition. Games are held at The Sports Centre, Boondall, on Saturday mornings. Players are placed in to teams with a volunteer coach, who takes them through 30 minutes of skills training before playing a 30 minute game of basketball. There are no ladders, no score sheets, and no grand finals... just a place for kids to learn the game. All NEW participants will recieve the WizKidz team pack, consisting of a basketball, reversible singlet, and draw-string bag.
