Nunawading Basketball

Last updated April 2026

Dribble, shoot, and cheer in the heart of Burwood East at Nunawading Basketball, where junior basketball for kids turns Saturday mornings into a highlight of the week. The outdoor courts buzz with energy as young players master their first layups and three-pointers under the watchful eye of dedicated coaches. With drills designed for skill-building and fun, every session feels like a mini-game rather than a lesson. Parents can relax on the sidelines or join in the fun during family-friendly playtime. It’s the kind of place where first-timers become fans, and weekends become something to look forward to. **What to Bring** Light, comfy clothes and runners. A water bottle to stay hydrated. A basketball if you’ve got one—though gear is often provided. Sunscreen on sunny days, and a hat for the little ones. **Best Age Range** Perfect for kids aged 5 to 12. Younger siblings can join in during parent-child sessions. **Good to Know** Sessions run during school terms and school holidays. Casual play is free, but structured programs cost around $10 per session. No bookings needed for drop-in play, but check the schedule for holiday timetables. Parking is available on Burwood Highway or nearby side streets. **Nearby** Grab a bite at Café Roza in Burwood East after the session. Or let the kids burn off more energy at the playground in Gardiners Creek Reserve, just a 5-minute drive away. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 10 minutes early to snag a good spot on the sidelines. Bring a spare shirt—kids always end up sweaty or grass-stained. Check the Facebook page for last-minute court closures or extra holiday sessions.
