Junior Basketball Academy Holiday Camp

Unleash Your Kids’ Energy With A Basketball Holiday Camp

A basketball holiday camp is a great way to get your kids active, making new friends, and using their energy in a positive way during the school holidays. Basketball is a demanding game physically where players have to pass, run, catch, stop quickly, dodge, and pivot with the ball, abiding by subtle rules along the way. This means basketball is a great game for kids with a lot of energy, where they can put their energy to use both mentally and physically on the basketball court. It’s a great game for kids of all abilities from beginner to advanced, because you don’t need to be the fastest or strongest. Whilst a bit of height helps it doesn’t mean you can’t excel at the sport. Muggsy Bogues is a great example of a short player, at 1.6m tall, who was a very successful NBA player.

Transform School Holidays with Our Basketball School Holiday Program For Kids of Any Ability

Basketball is a great game for kids to play for so many reasons:

Creativity in Play

Whilst there are some basic rules on the basketball court, participants have a great amount of flexibility in how they want to run, shoot, pass, dribble, and defend. This can be true of a lot of sports but in basketball this can be the difference between a good game and an amazing game.

Use a Range of Physical Skills

As with all sports that are high intensity, there are significant cardiovascular benefits with basketball. Going from running, to jumping, to dribbling, with rests in between, without knowing it kids are actually doing internal training which is really good for us all. The agility required to play a fast-paced sport like basketball requires kids to think on their feet, responding quickly to changes in momentum and direction. Having to dodge other players and think on your feet leads to increased agility both physically and mentally. As with most team sports, basketball requires upper body coordination, for catching, passing, and throwing the ball, total body coordination, walking backwards, running while dribbling, turning quickly, and hand-eye coordination generally just being able to handle the ball while also paying attention to the other players around you.

It’s Inexpensive To Play

Unlike games like cricket where you will need stumps, bat, ball, pads, helmet, and a cricket pitch, with basketball you just need a ball and a spare hoop and preferably one other person. You can even play by yourself and improve your basketball skills solo.
