Basketball

October 1st, 2009

Learning basketball is relatively easy as the game is centered around a few basic rules and skills, which when mastered allow young players to focus on the tactics of the game and more importantly teamwork. For the player already familiar with the basics, basketball offers unlimited challenges and countless skills to develop them into highly effective players.

The course will focus on teaching the rules of the game, introducing and developing fun skills and drills while building children’s confidence and fitness in a no pressure environment. The following will be covered:

  • Key aspects of good dribbling and ball control
  • Crisp passing and confident receiving
  • Shooting technique
  • Positional play and responsibilities of each person
  • Offensive concepts for attack and defensive tactics for getting the ball back
  • Basketball terminology

Younger age groups benefit enormously from playing basketball, developing valuable ball skills and co-ordination while learning how to co-operate. Modified games will also be introduced to younger age groups to facilitate a better understanding of the skills required. Older groups will focus on advanced personal skills and team plays.

Basketball will be conducted by qualified and professional Physical Education teachers, who not only aim to coach the game in-depth, but also make the sessions fun and an enjoyable learning experience.
