Junior Jets skills clinic
Overview
Like similar programs in other sports, such as AusKick™, Net Set Go™, and indeed Aussie Hoops™, the focus of Junior Jets is firstly upon individual development, and secondly being part of a competitive team sport.

Junior Jets builds on the principles and skills needed to prepare players for game situations when children are old enough to start playing in our mainstream junior domestic competition with Keilor Basketball Association.
Whilst our Coaches are experienced players themselves, they have varying levels of coaching experience. They are giving up their time when they could be studying or socializing with friends so that kids can participate in the game we all love. They are not state or national level coaches nor are they parents with child raising experience so parents should not expect elite coaching. What you will get though are teenagers or young adults (in their early to mid twenties) that are passionate about our game, firm but fair, love what they do and enjoy teaching kids the game of basketball.
Program info
  • Invitations to join are circulated via email, to receive an invitation you must be on our wait list. To join the Junior Jets wait list please click here
  • Our weekly Junior Jets program runs in line with our competition seasons (Winter 2 & 3 and Summer Terms 4 & 1).
  • The program is aimed at children who qualify to play in our domestic competition wanting to gain skills before entering our mainstream junior domestic competition
  • Registrations are sold for two consecutive school terms which is what we refer to as a playing season. In aligning the classes to our playing seasons it allows us to transition children into teams a little easier when they're ready to play.
  • Registrations once opened are first in, best dressed, classes are capped (no more than 12 children per session).
  • Our age groups apply both to our teams and our skills clinics, classes will be grouped by gender and similar years of birth where possible. We reserve the right to combine classes where numbers are low.
  • Full fees must be paid prior to attendance, this is not a pay at the door activity and there are no refunds for withdrawal from the program nor missed or cancelled classes. We are unable to offer make up classes for missed sessions however we will run a reduced timetable online via zoom
  • There are no classes on public or school holidays
  • Fees are all-inclusive and cover all weeks of participation, insurance, court hire and cleaning costs, coach payments. A training singlet and basketball will be provided for all new players
  • Please note that the reversible training singlet is to be worn at all training sessions. If you lose or damage the singlet or ball you must purchase another at your own expense. This numberless reversible training singlet is different to the reversible numbered game day uniform and cannot be worn during Saturday games once your child is allocated a team, they can however continue to wear the reversible numberless training singlet to train in once allocated a team
