Junior Basketball Program
This term we are pleased to once again offer a Junior Basketball Development Program for students in Years 2 -5. The program will be run after school on Thursday afternoons from 3.30pm – 4.30pm in the College gymnasium and outdoor courts.
The basketball program will be run by Mr Brad Burdon who has a long history of coaching here on the Sunshine Coast and in Cairns with school, representative and senior teams including the Cairns Taipans. Brad will be assisted by myself, and senior school basketball players as well as some PLC ex-students.
The program will commence on Thursday 10th August and will run for five weeks, finishing on Thursday 7th September. During these sessions, students will focus on fundamental basketball skills through drills before moving into gameplay.
The cost of this 5-week program is $30 which includes a basketball for each student to take home at the completion of the program.
If you are interested in registering your child for this program, please send an expression of interest email to (lmuir@pacluth.qld.edu.au). An information letter and payment details will be forwarded to you.
Pacific Board Riders Club
Pacific Lutheran College will again offer the opportunity for students to be part of the Pacific Board Riders (PBR). The aim of the program is to provide an opportunity to develop individual surfing skills and grow the culture of surfing within the College. Due to stringent supervision and safety requirements, participation in the program will be capped at 24 students per session and will be dependent on individual competencies, including an ocean swim and board paddle, assessed by the teachers in charge.
Please note that these Friday morning sessions are not a “learn to surf” program. Sessions start next Friday 28th July (Conditions Dependent).
If you are interested in your child being part of this program, please email dhooper@pacluth.qld.edu.au for further details.
