COACHING

The coaching team create a fun, high-energy training environment with a focus on improving fundamental skills and technique. Players are grouped by age and ability, with development supported through drills focusing on ball-handling, shooting, defending and teamwork. Every Friday players put their skills to the test in a weekly tournament. At the end of the programme each player receives an individual review from their coach and a certificate to take home.

RESULTS: Players leave with a better understanding of their game and how to improve. They meet friends from around the world and gain self-confidence in a truly international basketball environment.

ENGLISH

Classes focus on sport, engaging students’ passion for the subject to promote language learning in a fun and interactive environment. Using the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) model of English, qualified teachers infuse language learning into lively and active classes where sports-based projects, discussions and activities take centre stage. Teachers guide students to improve their verbal communication skills while discussing legendary players, interviewing coaches, or writing and speaking their own commentary. Learning is supported by English teachers living on-site and English is spoken at all times throughout the camp, creating an immersive learning environment.
