South West Metro Pirates
2022 Term 4 Registrations NOW OPEN!
McDonald's SuperHoopers is an introductory skill development program, run each term for new players aged 5 - 12. Sessions are held at two locations on different days of the week - you choose which one is best suited to you!
(If unable to attend your designated location for a given week, you are entitled to attend the other to 'make up' for it)
Coaches run through the basics of basketball at these skills and drills sessions, using play-based games and activities. We focus on developing the core skills required in the sport including dribbling, passing, listening and shooting.
All new children can attend a free trial to see if they enjoy the program, then sign up for the following week if they are keen to continue. If joining mid-way through the term we are able to pro-rata the term fee.

Taking the next step after our McDonalds SuperHooper Program
When you feel they are ready to start playing basketball, depending on your child's age, the coordinator or coach can assist you in placing your child into either a team in one of our competitions held on Saturday mornings or into the S.S. Pirateball sessions at Runcorn High for players aged between 5 and 7 in 2022.
Children turning 8 or older in 2022, will need to join a Club and play in our Under 10's - Under 18's competitions.
