COACHING
The girls’ basketball programme is designed to develop the next generation of female players in a fun and engaging environment. Training in all-girls groups, coaching is tailored to the individual level, with coaches challenging players to improve on-court performance. Pro-style drills covering offensive and defensive technical skills and 5v5 game scenarios give an insight into life as an elite player, encouraging all-round athlete development. A weekly tournament gives players the chance to perform under pressure, competing to be crowned champions.
Eric Boateng brings his wealth of experience playing with NBA teams in the USA, professional teams around the world and as a GB Olympic basketball player, giving players a personal insight into what it’s like to play at the highest level.
RESULTS: Players improve on-court through a combination of coaching and gameplay situations. Off-court players build confidence and independence within an international basketball environment. Players join this programme from around the world creating a rich cultural experience and forging friendships and memories.
English
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.
