Notice from Basketball NEXT
Save the Date!
Following on the success of our clinic in May, we’ll be hosting a follow up clinic on Sunday 5 June 2011.
The clinic is open to all coaches who would like to learn how to coach basketball, or just to brush up on their fundamentals. We have combined this with a girls camp to promote the involvement of young women aged 14-17 in basketball. Please note that the entrance cost for coaches to the clinic is a basketball.
Because we don’t want to get rained out, we will be taking this next clinic to an indoor court. This means that we might ask players to donate a maximum of R20 to court hire should we not secure the full sponsorship. Please also note that at this stage this clinic will not come with certification of any kind.
