School Packages
As an organisation our goal is to be embedded and connected within our community on all levels, ensuring the youngest members of our community are exposed to our values, of promoting physical and social health and wellbeing.
We understand you may not have all the equipment or facilities usually required to provide basketball at your school, so that’s where we come in! Our coaches bring all of the equipment (even hoops if needed) with them and ensure that your children get a positive experience of basketball.
Our Coaching Expertise
Every week, we have the privilege of coaching over 500 talented players who are part of our comprehensive talent pathway. Our experienced coaching staff brings a wealth of knowledge, with many having played or coached at the collegiate and national and international level. All our coaches have at least a level 2 basketball coaching qualification and have up to date first aid, safeguarding and DBS certificates.
