YMCA Tampere – Children's Basketball Groups
Muksukoris (Ages 3–4) – Parent & Child Basketball
All 3–4-year-old children and their accompanying adult are warmly welcome to join Muksukoris, YMCA Tampere’s parent-child basketball program. Families can join at any point during the season. The recommended age is flexible, so enthusiastic 2-year-olds or 5-year-olds who would enjoy exercising together with an adult are also welcome.
Each child participates together with their own adult (parent, grandparent, godparent, or another trusted adult). The accompanying adult does not have to be the same every week.
Through games and fun activities, children develop fundamental movement skills while getting to know the basics of basketball in a safe, encouraging, and playful environment.
