A GREAT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY
There are several basketball skills your child can learn at a sports clinic that apply both on and off the court. Proball Basketball Academy are great opportunity to get kids playing and moving!
AGILITY
Basketball requires players to maneuver their way up and down the court, often dodging opponents. They twist out of the way, turn and shield the ball, then duck around an opponent. Defenders need to be on guard, always on their toes.
Some people might think basketball is “nothing but net,” but actual play requires a good deal of agility. Your child will have a chance to work on their footwork through a number of drills designed to improve both their defensive skills and offensive play, as well as develop a fundamental movement not as common in other sports: jumping.
TEAMWORK
Basketball is a team sport, so, of course, one of the essential basketball skills is good teamwork! At a sports clinic, your child will have ample opportunity to develop great teamwork skills by participating in drills with partners and in groups.
Working together, clinic-goers will help each other improve not just their basketball skills but other key life skills too.
SELF-DICIPLINE
Learning, understanding, and applying rules is key to any sport.
Learning about rules in sports can teach children self-control and discipline. A player who flouts the rules won’t be welcome on the court for very long and won’t earn the respect of his or her peers. Practicing self-control and abiding by the rules on the court can also be applied off the court. Children who participate in sports may find it easier to follow rules at home or in the classroom.
