SPORT PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS
Basketball Sport Performance (BB10-12)
This course is open to students in grades 10-12 and will provide an opportunity to train and learn about the sport of basketball. Students should have a desire and love for the game. The course will provide an avenue for students to develop their basketball skills, leadership and character. It will be a ‘skills and drills’ focused class to enhance current basketball abilities and their overall health and well-being. Students will be on the court 2-3 days per week where they will have the opportunity to develop new skills and learn from several Guest Coaches in our local basketball community. Occasional classroom/theory days will be used to supplement on court training.
The course is designed to expose the student to a variety of physical and mental challenges in order to introduce game-like scenarios and ultimately the decision-making process of competitive athletics. As such, students will use the theories and principles they learn and apply them in individual and small group competitive situations.
Important Notes: This 4 credit “elective” class will NOT satisfy the student's PHE requirement. The course will be offered outside the school timetable held mainly in the mornings prior to the first block, but other sessions and opportunities will occur at varied times. A fee is required to offset the costs associated with equipment, clothing, field trips, travel, certifications and guest coaches.
