Our 5 yrs. old – 2nd Grade participants are taught Age Appropriate Basketball Skills such as:  Correct Shooting Form, Bounce Pass, Chest Pass, Dribbling, Catch and Tuck, Jump Stops, and Pivots, They also play “Line Basketball” ((a basketball lead up game).

Recognizing the shorter attention span of the FUN AND FREEDOM “Future Hoopsters” we also include activities such as Floor Hockey and Dodge Ball, which have skills that parallel those used in basketball. 

Floor Hockey reinforces bending knees, keeping hips down, playing defense by protecting the goal, attacking while on offense, passing to teammates, and moving into a position to receive a pass from a teammate.

Dodge Ball teaches the “catch and tuck” skill used in basketball passing, lower body stance with knees bent when watching for thrown balls, reinforcing the same stance used while playing defense in basketball.

Not only are the above games FUN  - they teach teamwork and good sportsmanship.
