Co-ed Grades 2-5 Sessions
These programs emphasize fun games that use basketball to teach fundamental movements and introduces beginning basketball skills. Basic movement skills include the ABC’s of Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed. Specific basketball skills taught include stance, footwork, dribbling, passing and shooting. Each session will feature a minimum Coach-to-Camper ratio of 1:8. As the 8 weeks progress, we will build up to more and more game play using the skills and team tactics focussed on in previous weeks. Week 8 will feature a WVBC in-house tournament, where the players will be divided into 4 teams in a “nothing but games” night to celebrate our spring together. Your child will surely fall in love with basketball after attending these high energy, fun filled sessions!
