2. Gear

Here's a list of things you will definitely need to buy before your first basketball class:

- Comfortable Shoes - 
There is a great variety on the market from shapes and colors to price range. We recommend you buy a pair that fits, that your toddler loves and that's sturdy enough to withstand all the running and jumping.

- A Basketball -
For toddlers, it's usually the smallest size - 27.5" (size 5)

HOW TO CHOOSE A BASKETBALL

- Uniform -
Yes, sure, you can just throw a pair of shorts and a T-shirt, but it won't be as much fun, would it? The best way to get a kid involved in sports is to create excitement around it, which a uniform sure does.

At Royal Basketball School, we believe there is so much more to developing your child's basketball skills than just going out on the court to shoot. We focus on the fundamentals of the game. The critical building blocks your child needs to become a solid overall basketball player. The younger a child begins working on their game, the faster they will develop into a well-rounded athlete.  Developing proper body movement, harnessing athleticism, perfecting hand eye coordination, enhancing  work ethic, and the promotion of a daily exercise routine, will all be taught to your child.  Our youngest age groups focus on: How to run, jump, slide your feet, skip, move dynamically with high knees, and jump on a single foot.
