Why should you choose Basketball?
Basketball is a phenomenal gate way sport that develops hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, agility, balance, endurance and working as a team.
Basketball is an inclusive sport that can be played in any weather enabling you to stay warm and dry in winter and avoid the harsh sun in summer, the perfect spectator sport!
As a very social sport, playing basketball helps kids develop their communication and social skills. They learn how to work as a team, talk to others and make new friends.
Being involved in a team sport early in life will enable the kids to associate exercise with enjoyment, and encourage them remain active throughout their life.
Most importantly through playing basketball kids learn that being active is fun!
