FALL RECREATION PROGRAM

‍

Description of the program

The recreational program is for boys and girls aged 6 to 15 at all levels. Training is by age category (see description below). This program enables youngsters to discover basic techniques such as dribbling, passing and shooting at the basket, as well as more advanced techniques such as demarcation, offensive and defensive techniques. The methods used consist of skill drills through game simulations; executed both individually and collectively.
