Mini Basketball Program

February, 8, 2010

Basketball Alberta is offering a new trial initiative: Basketball Alberta Mini Basketball Clinics. All elementary schools in the greater Edmonton region have been contacted with the opportunity to offer half or full day clinics to their Physical Education classes. 

This program provides elementary school classes with modified basketball clinics. These clinics are a great opportunity for both the teachers and the students to learn more about basketball.

Our mini-basketball program is tailored to youth development. One of our certified instructors will come to your school and provide an introductory Mini basketball lesson during your physical education class schedule. The goal of the instructor is to provide the teacher with a new approach to teaching the basic skills of basketball. Emphasis is placed on playing the game while introducing new skills. Mini basketball is suited for students from K-6 with different levels of play for each grade. Clinicians will accommodate as many classes as the school wishes with a max. of 30 students per class. Multiple day clinics are available.

Clinic Details:

Recommended Class length: 30-45 minutes (most schools opt to keep their regular physical education schedule).

Maximum Participants per class: 30 students per session; the teacher(s) must be present during all classes.

Cost: $125.00 + GST ($131.25)  for a half day (1-4 hours) or $250.00 + GST ($262.50) for a full day (4-7 hours). A Mini-Basketball Instructor’s Guide will be included with a full day clinic.
