Years 2-5 Junior Basketball Program
This term we are once again offering a Junior Basketball Program to students in Years 2-5. The focus of the program is to develop basketball skills and the application of these skills in game situations, with the program covering the fundamental skills of dribbling, passing, defence and shooting.
The program will run for five weeks each Thursday afternoon from Thursday 10th August through to Thursday 7th September, from 3.30-4.30pm in the PLC gymnasium.
The cost of the program is $30.00 per student, which includes a basketball that students can take home at the end of the program. If you are interested in your child participating in the Junior Basketball Program, please log into your parent Clipboard account via link https://myplc.pacluth.qld.edu.au and select “Junior Basketball Development 2023” for payment.
There is still space available for students to sign up with numbers for this program capped at 70.
