About

Term 1 Junior Basketball Academy:

Day            Tuesdays

Time           4.00pm-5.30pm

Venue         Marden Basketball Centre

Our INTERMEDIATE group is intended for kids with adequate skills and a moderate to high level of experience that are playing organized basketball in social leagues and maybe clubs & associations. But they still lack in the consistent physical &/or mental application of skills & gameplay.

Our Academies are skilled based.  We pride ourselves on getting our kids quality repetitions for the areas of their games that need improvement. Furthermore, once they have acquired &/or improved their skill sets, they must also learn how, when & where to apply these skills in game situations. We address these essentials too, through modified, purposeful games.

At Brooks Basketball Services our ‘No Kid Left Behind’ philosophy means we believe that ‘No Kid’ should miss out on sport, in particular basketball, due to financial challenges, a lack of coaching or low confidence and self-esteem.  

Throughout our programs, we focus on ensuring that all kids are given a safe, positive and encouraging environment to have a go, maybe make mistakes, try to improve their skills and finally to grow in confidence, no matter what level they are currently playing in the game of basketball.

Max 15 positions available

Any player who does not know or cannot execute the following skills should be in our BEGINNERS PROGRAM:

  • Catching the basketball (with 2 hands out in front of body)
  • Protecting the basketball (once caught, player must keep the basketball from being taken away by a defender)
  • Passing the basketball (chest pass, bounce pass, overhead pass with 2 hands)
  • Dribbling the basketball with the appropriate hand in the appropriate direction (e.g., lefthand dribble when a player dribbles to their left / righthand dribble when a player dribbles to their right)
  • Jump-stops (if player cannot after dribbling the basketball, come to a complete stop without shuffling their feet, this is traveling)
  • Lay-ups (dribbling towards the basket, catch the ball, take 2 steps & shoot with 1 hand, off of 1 foot near the basket)
  • Jump-stop Jump-shots (dribbling towards the basket, catch the ball whilst coming to a complete stop & shoot the basketball)
  • Defence (get in proper stance & sliding without feet crossing or touching)
  • Rebounding (jumping up with 2 hands & catching the basketball in the air, then protecting it)
