Development camp options
Select between two different options for our Development basketball camps, both including up to 24 hours of basketball training per week:
-
Includes up to 8 hours of basketball workshops per week. Players follow a series of interactive workshops and recovery activities throughout the camp. Workshops introduce a range of topics designed to give a broader view and better understanding of athletic performance and what it takes to succeed in sports. Recovery exercises, such as yoga, help players manage the workload of two training sessions each day.
-
Includes up to 13 hours of English lessons per week. 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.
BASKETBALL 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.
