Little Ballers is Thunder Basketball for our smallest members!
PreK/K players learn how to dribble, shoot, play on a team, and have fun!
The league focuses on letting these little ones gain experience with coordination, handling a ball, and learning the rules of the game, all while giving them the opportunity for actual play.
