At Nazareth College our Basketball Education Program aims to foster, support and encourage the academic, sporting and life skills of students who display the ability (and those who have the desire) to participate in elite sporting competition. In Basketball Education, students will undertake movement and physical activity tailored to increase the students’ knowledge, skills, tactics and game play in Basketball. Students will learn about basic physiology, anatomy and training principles. Students analyse how participation in physical activity and sport influence an individual’s identities and explore the role participation plays in shaping cultures. Students also refine personal and social skills in demonstrating leadership and teamwork.
