Vista's Children and Young People enjoy another basketball session with Leicester Riders!

30 Mar 2022

Tonight, we had another basketball session. First, we had our under 10’s group who are always full of energy and raring to go!

We warmed up by having some free time to run around the court and shoot into the different hoops. We then listen to the coaches as they told us what drills we will be doing. The first drill was working on our throwing and catching, for this we spilt off into twos to work on this skill together. We then had a mini game which was lots of fun. It was great to see everyone put the skills they had just worked on into practise

Our over 10’s then joined us for their session. They also warmed up by running around the court and having a go at shooting. The first drill the over 10’s participated in was passing the ball along a line. One child/young person had to pass the ball over their head and the next had to pass the ball through their legs. This was challenging to get in the rhythm and was even more challenging when the coach gave them three balls to pass along the line!

These sessions are inclusive and engaging for all whilst challenging Vista's Children and Young People mentally and physically.
