Questions? We're Here to Help!
What age groups is the JOOOKOOO Basketball Skills Academy designed for?
Activities will include significant time for repetition, require minimal correction allowing children to safely test their own limits, and improve their abilities through experience. Activities should be helping children build confidence and competence as they engage in physical activity.
What will participants learn during the sessions?
Participants will learn a variety of basketball skills including dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive strategies. In addition to technical skills, the sessions also focus on building teamwork, sportsmanship, and game understanding to comprehensively develop each player’s abilities.
How often are the sessions held, and what is the duration of each session?
Sessions are held every Saturday from 9 to 10 AM. Each session lasts one hour, providing ample time for warm-ups, skill drills, and interactive games to reinforce the day’s learning objectives.
What should participants bring to each session?
Participants should bring a water bottle, appropriate athletic footwear, and comfortable sportswear suitable for active play. All other training equipment, including basketballs, will be provided by the academy.
Is the location for the Basketball Skills Academy the same each year?
We aim to hold our sessions at Pickering High School in Ajax. However, since the Durham District School Board (DDSB) issues permits a few months before each period (September-December, January-March, April-June, July to mid-August), our location may change. We have been successful in securing the same location in past years, but it's not guaranteed.
