Central East - Vaughan - Learn to Play Basketball Program (6-13 yrs)

Join us for a 6-week Intro to Basketball program, designed to build healthy habits, learn essential basketball skills, and develop teamwork and problem-solving abilities. Facilitated by ACO Basketball Collective, this fun, interactive experience will focus on personal growth, collaboration, and enjoying the game, while also building confidence on and off the court. Perfect for beginners looking to learn a new sport, improve their skills and have fun!
