The Secret of Successful Basketball Players:
Go Slow… to Go Fast! WHAT’S SOMA? It means South-Of-Market-Area, San Francisco, which is the area where Coach Joe learned to play basketball as a youth, and started his coaching career as an adult. It also describes our promise to you and your children:
S upport and develop your child’s
Athleticism, Skills, and Mentality
O pportunity to provide personal
space to grow their interest for the game Motor skills to promote future athletic success and injury prevention A ge-appropriate activities building confidence on and off the court There’s a saying in basketball – let the play develop. Slowing down doesn’t mean taking it easy, it’s about not rushing!

ince the start of the basketball programme in September this year we have been working closely with the Swiss Club to kickstart social basketball and various programmes for different age groups.
A SPORT FOR ALL AGES To date, two amazing groups of budding basketballers, aged 6 to 12 and 13 to 18 years old, have been faithfully turning up each week to practise their skills on court. The good news is, we have just brought in a junior hoop to encourage younger kids to join us! Meanwhile, we have been loving our training sessions at the start of each week. It’s a great buzz to see so many sports being practised at once. Thanks to all our young players who have been diligently working on their ball handling, dribbling and shooting skills. LOOKING FORWARD As we are delighted to see interest for basketball picking up, do look out for details of upcoming events in the weekly Swiss Club
e-newsletter. We are already planning a basketball camp for kids during the December break, so register your child early to avoid disappointment.
