WHO CAN REGISTER FOR DUNKERS?

Dunkers fields teams for U8 – U18 aged players. Please note that 90% + of our players attend Donvale Christian College.

PREP STUDENTS –

• We highly recommend that players wait until grade 1 before enrolling in the competitive Saturday programs as for the majority of players, their ability to grasp the basics of basketball isn’t present in most kids aged 5 and 6.
• We do offer a short skills based junior program called Future Dunkers that runs each term 1 and 3 that caters for Preps to Grade 2. Click HERE link below for more information.

GRADE 1 & 2 STUDENTS

• Dunkers prefers all new players in this age group to have completed at least 1 Future Dunkers program or equivalent (Hoops, The Rings and other similar holiday basketball programs) before starting with Donvale Dunkers. Click HERE for more information.
