Primary Link Teacher Training – A two hour or full day course to introduce Mini-Basketball and/or Take Six MINI-BASKETBALL to Primary Link Teachers

Similar to a TAW, as described above, but a valuable opportunity for PLT's from the Sports Partnership to experience the activities delivered at a TAW.

Course can include:

TEACHER-IN-CLASS DEVELOPMENT- develop mini-basketball by observing practical class activity

Our Education officer will work with teachers and their classes taking PE lessons throughout a school day to demonstrate how mini-basketball is an exciting curriculum activity. The school can select the classes from year 1 to year 6 according to the school requirements.

MINI-BASKETBALL YOUNG LEADERS COURSE – ideal for students undertaking a CSLA course

A practical workshop aimed at young people who are to assist at a primary school or community mini-basketball club. A course designed for students undertaking a CSLA Course in year 12 & 13. The length and content of the course can be arranged to suit the needs of the participants. An ideal full day session can include the organisation of a Take Six Mini-Basketball Development Festival in the afternoon for a local primary school.

TAKE SIX MINI-BASKETBALL FESTIVAL – a special mini-basketball event for a group of primary schools

In many School Sports Partnerships children are coming together from several schools with their teachers for a sports festival. We can organise a Fun 'n' Games Session for a few schools or a Mini-Basketball Festival for several schools to take place during the school day or after-school. The event will be organised according to the recommended Mini-Basketball England Guidelines and can include a range of challenging mini-basketball activities followed by games.
