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.
The details:

Fiat Sports Centre, Zone 9 Meadowlands, Soweto
The day came and went with the Playground Legends standing tall on the day. Fiat Sports Centre, Zone 9 Meadowlands, Soweto is where it all went down.
8 Teams signed up for the contest and boy did the teams bring their game, as teams from the surrounding hoods came through to pit their skills against each other. We witnessed some scintillating game-play with some teams dominating their opponents from start to finish in their match-ups, whilst other matches were hard fought with either side not allowing an inch for the opponents to gain the advantage.
As the contest goes someone had to win and someone had to loose. In the final match-up Jordan, Musa and Given (Red team) faced Mike, Mandla and Siphiwe (Burgundy team). Stage was set for an exciting encounter between the two teams since the Red team came into the finals as the favourites and the Burgundy team the underdogs.
