Basketball Tasmania development officer North Nathan Brereton said the clinics helped introduce kids to the sport and learn the fundamentals.

"We're doing a lot of introductory skills - ball handling, form shooting, finishing, passing and footwork are some of the things we're working on," he said.

"The earlier you can get exposure to the sport, the better you'll be.

"It's all about the work you put ... if we can get kids into the sport at a younger age it'll ultimately produce better athletes in the longer term.

"But really this is about having a bit of fun over the school holidays."

Kids between 7 and 13 years old are participating in the clinics, with about 60 attending the two-day event.

Young basketball talents including Launceston star Sejr Deans helped at the clinics.

"It's a really positive time for basketball at the moment so I feel like some of the momentum from the JackJumpers and other positive things that are happening have a flow-on effect," Brereton said.

"They have a flow-on affect for things like the clinics and it's great to have good numbers.

"I think there could be some future JackJumpers out here - we're introducing the kids to the sport here and a lot of them will go into the BTas programs and continue to develop."
