The +50 women joined the +55s, +60s and newly formed +65s for a fun-filled smorgasbord of basketball drills and games in Birmingham on 10th August.
This was essential, especially for those players who may be transitioning between age categories in the coming season, and allowed all to interface with the players that they may be playing with in the coming year.
It also provided an opportunity for new players to join the FIMBA programme without being concerned with selection or performance. Having 4 coaches provided great variety and the summer camp was enjoyed by all. It gave the participants a small taste of the camaraderie and positivity that surrounds the FIMBA programme and encouraged all to join or remain with FIMBA long term. It was a great way of utilising the Summer break to enable a fast start when the season starts again in September.
Feedback from all concerned, especially the participating players was very positive, the relaxed atmosphere the coaches created was clearly appreciated by the players allowing a thoroughly enjoyable and beneficial afternoon of basketball. A varied selection of drills including several that players had not taken part in before clearly kept all those involved very entertained.
It was a pleasure to see the smiles on players’ faces at the end of the session; one of the numerous reasons why coaching the awesome sport of basketball is so rewarding!
