Ausome Hoops delivers weekly programs to kids on the spectrum, providing a safe, inclusive space where they can learn how to play basketball free from the judgment from others that may be present in mainstream sports programs.
The program was created after Phoebe McShane saw a lack of Autism-Inclusive sport programs available for her younger brother. His experiences saw him struggle to stick to a sport for more than 6 months due to the lack of knowledge and support from coaches and peers. He had tried just about every sport offered in their area but hadn’t found the right fit. And from here, Ausome Hoops was born!
Bulleen Boomers have been running Ausome Hoops for three years now, positively impacting the lives of not only the participants, but their families as well.
“Ausome Hoops is the best part of our week! My son loves the sessions, and I can sit back and relax, knowing he is in great hands. I used to help with him in the sessions when he first started, but he is so confident now that I can step away and just enjoy watching him!”
