Basketball clinics to nurture grassroots talent
Saturday, December 1, 2012
THE day has finally arrived for Brunei basketball.
The Street Roc Mini-Ball Clinics will be launched tomorrow at the Airport Mall in Berakas.
Organised by Lava Media, the programme is catered for the 7-12-year-old age group. It is a 32-week programme and is structured on the school term so that there will be no conflict.
It has always been a priority for national basketball coach, Kevin Reece (pic), to start from the grassroots and he is expecting a good outcome for the launching set for 2pm.
"I'm expecting a large turnout of at least 30 kids. I think that it is a good number to start with for 7-12 year old because it has never been done before," said Reece in an interview with The Brunei Times yesterday.
"There will be some demonstration and drills to start things off. The programme will work mostly on the basics such as dribbling, passing and shooting," he added.
"There will be 16 weeks of intense drills and fun. After that we will be looking to starting a league for the group with matches and clinics held alternately with the remainder of the programme,"continued the American.
Reece is looking at the bigger picture and is looking to run the mini-ball for three years to see results.
"The main aim is to push grassroots basketball where the group has never been tapped. We want to be ready for the future competitions such as the SEA (Southeast Asian) Games," said Reece. Read More…
