📚 What learning takes place?
Basketball provides opportunities for children to develop a wide range of physical, social and cognitive skills.
Children will learn the fundamental basketball skills of dribbling, passing, receiving, shooting and movement. They will develop greater control over the ball and learn how to use different techniques in a variety of situations.
Activities will support hand-eye coordination, balance, agility, speed, spatial awareness and reaction time. Children will learn how to move safely around a playing area and recognise where there is space to move into.
Team games introduce children to the importance of communication, cooperation and teamwork. They will learn to listen to teammates, share the ball, make decisions and work towards a common goal.
Children will also develop decision-making and problem-solving skills. During games and challenges, they will need to decide when to pass, where to move, when to shoot and how to respond to other players.
The club also encourages resilience and positive attitudes towards competition. Children will learn that mistakes are part of learning and that practising skills can help them improve.
