Aussie Hoops at Overnewton Primary School

 

Keilor Basketball Association took Aussie Hoops basketball fun and skills to Overnewton Primary School during Term 3.

 

Ed Holman who coaches at the school said “Overnewton & the Keilor Basketball Association were both extremely happy with the program. This has lead to two Under 12 teams being entered into the KBA junior domestic competition for the upcoming season. We have agreed to run the program throughout Terms 1 and 3 next year on the same basis as the last program. During the initial program, 40 participants received expert coaching, a backpack, basketball, drink bottle and sweatband as part of the program. We expect further teams to be entered into the KBA competition following these programs in 2010.”

 

Aussie Hoops is a national junior basketball program which acts as an introduction point to basketball. The focus of the program revolved around children learning to play basketball in a non competitive environment before making the transition to competitive basketball at a domestic level.
