Shootin’ Hoops at Atlantic Academy

This afternoon, ten children from Year 6 were taken to Atlantic Academy in order to participate in a variety of basketball skills and drills. The activities were led by sports leaders at Atlantic and developed the children’s ability to:

-Shoot

-Pass

-Intercept

-Shield the ball

-Anticipate rebounds off the backboard

-Copy with pressurized situations in basketball

-Move into space

-Dribble

-Work as a team

Southill worked alongside children from other schools in the local area and, I must say, not only did Southill look the part but they also demonstrated outstanding determination and desire to improve at basketball. They worked incredibly well alongside all the other children from the other schools and they represented the school impeccably, impressing both the sports leaders and teachers that were present (especially me).
