Young Ballerz Basketball has been operational since September 2021 and has gone from strength to strength. Through structured classes delivered by highly qualified, dedicated, and experienced coaches, we aim to encourage more children from the grassroots level to participate in basketball.

With ample experience in childcare, Carl and Amy Robertson aim to increase the awareness of the sport of basketball throughout the country, setting up more and more classes along the way. The classes are designed to encourage more children from as young as 3 years old to participate and have fun while building their confidence with all classes tailored to your child’s age and needs
