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 3:00 – 4:00pm in the school gymnasium and outdoor courts.

The basketball program will be run by Mr Brad Burdon who has previous experience in coaching both here on the Sunshine Coast and in Cairns with school, representative and senior teams including the Cairns Taipans. Mr Brad Burdon will be assisted by myself, and senior school basketball players as well as some PLC ex-students. 

The program will commence on Thursday 1st August and will run for five weeks, finishing on Thursday 29th August. During these sessions, students will focus on fundamental basketball skills through drills before moving into gameplay.

The cost of this 5-week program is free. If students would like to receive a basketball at the end of the program there will be a $30 charge which provides each student with a basketball that they can keep 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  by Friday 26th July. An information letter and payment details will be forwarded to prior to the commencement of the program.
