Childcare Centre Info
Billy’s Buddies is a non-contact sports program inspired by Australian Sporting Star, Billy Slater to teach children aged 2 to 6 the fundamentals of ball sports.
Together with exercise sports scientists and early childhood teachers, the Program has been designed to enhance children’s gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination, ability to work in a team and their confidence in a fun and safe environment.

Available Programs & Next Steps
Parent Paid Program
A Billy’s Buddies Parent Paid Program is a fantastic way of providing sport to those children and families that wish to opt in. It is a super easy, no cost, little effort program and a great way to offer more to families.
How would it work?
We come out and run a week or two of free trials to give all children a ‘taste’ for the program. From there, if there is enough interest, we will continue attending each week for registered children.
The Parent Paid Program is paid weekly via Direct Debit and parents can cancel at any time. More information can be found via the FAQs page.
Centre Paid Program
A Billy’s Buddies Centre Paid Program is a great inclusion to your Kindergarten Program and something extra for families to enjoy. By incorporating a Centre Paid Program, every child is provided with the opportunity to participate.
We have had many Queensland Centres use their Queensland Kindergarten Funding to cover the cost of Billy’s Buddies for their children. To learn more about the funding, please visit the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme website.
We are flexible when it comes to the frequency and duration of a Centre Paid Program. You can book for as little as 4 weeks or as long as a whole year. We’ve had several Centres do both!
- 30 minutes for up to 12 children; or,
- 60 minutes for up to 24 children.
Pricing depends on the booking duration and time per week.
$85 + GST for 30 minutes
$130 + GST for 1 hour
$195 + GST for 1.5 hours
$260 + GST for 2 hours
