South West Metro Pirates
McDonald's SuperHoopers is our introductory skill development program for new players aged 5 - 12. Our 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, shooting, listening and teamwork.
The program is run as a weekly session over an 8-week block during each school term. Sessions are held on two different days of the week - you choose which day is best suited to you!
(If unable to attend your designated session for a given week, you are welcome to attend another to 'make up' for it)
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 (please email us first if you wish to trial). If joining mid-way through the term we are able to pro-rata the term fee. Children are also welcome to register for as many terms of SuperHoopers as they like!

Taking the next step after SuperHoopers
You can do our Superhoopers program for as many terms as you like! When you feel they are ready to start playing basketball, depending on your child's age, the coordinator or coach can assist you in linking up with one of our clubs to play in our junior competition held on Saturday.
Children aged 5 - 7 can play in SS Pirateball, held at Runcorn SHS, which is our Under 8 modified basketball league.
Children turning 8 or older can play in our Junior Club Competition which is for Under 10 onward.
