Under 8's & 10's league
The Rockets U8's (school years 2 and 3) & U10's (school years 4 and 5) Development League gives young players their first opportunity to experience regular basketball competition in a fun, supportive and development-focused environment.
Across the season, teams will take part in six league tournaments, playing 2–3 games at each tournament against other local club development teams. The focus is on learning, teamwork, building confidence and, most importantly, enjoying the game.
The league is delivered by Rockets league coaches alongside the club’s apprentice coaches and referees, providing a great opportunity for young players to develop their skills while also giving our future coaches and officials valuable experience.
