Young people looking to get fit and play basketball are encouraged to try out with the Good News Power Basketball Club in Tarneit.
Powering Up – GNP Basketball Club Come and Try Session is designed to introduce young enthusiasts to the fundamentals of basketball in a friendly and supportive environment.
Hosted at the Good News Lutheran College’s Tarneit campus gym on Tuesday, March 11, the first session will run from 4-5pm for ages 6-12 and the second session will be 5-6pm for ages 12 and over.
Whether they aspire to become professional players or simply want to enjoy a new sport, the come and try sessions cater to all skill levels and interests.
Supported by an Australia Post grant, the hour sessions will be filled with activities that engage and educate children about on-court fundamentals.
Various drills and exercises, emphasising the core aspects of basketball such as dribbling, shooting, passing, and defense will be offered.
The club wants parents, guardians and potential players to know that it will be a fun experience and that it is a forum to make lifelong friends.
According to vice president Sarah Sherwood, basketball’s benefits go beyond the court.
“We also believe that basketball is not just a sport, but a tool to enhance lives and empower, providing individuals with team-spirit, discipline, meaning and most importantly, fun!”
Good News Power Basketball Club fields junior teams up to U/23s. Entry will be via Caraleena Drive.
