BREAKERS BASKETBALL: Year 1 - 6

Basketball runs over 2 semesters, each semester is played over 2 terms.

Year 1/2 league: Monday afternoons

Year 3/4 league: Friday afternoons

Year 5/6 league: Thursday afternoons

Semester 1: Term 1 & 2

Semester 2: Term 3 & 4.

The league is all about building on the teachings from the Junior Breakers Programme and improving the basics of the game in a fun and learning environment.

The rules are modified to allow the players to have maximal time on task. Included every game is an 8 minute fundamental warm up with a coach from the Breakers so every session the kids will learn new skills. Teaching the basic rules is also a major part of the league so the games can be played in a fair and constructive way.

League focus:

• 5 players on the court per team

• Fundamentals taught – dribbling (retreat dribble/crossover/change of direction), jump shots, lay-ups, playing as a team and man to man defence.

• Rules – strict on basics (double dribble, progress, fouls)

• Scoring – 2-3 points for a basket, 1 point for a free-throw.

• Cost: $TBC, this will be finalised once team numbers are confirmed. Likely to be around $130.00 to $140.00 per player for term 1 and 2.

• Competition Dates:

Year 1/2: Monday 15 February - Monday 15 July

Year 3/4: Fridays from 26 February - 9 July
