The Introduction to Basketball Teaching workshops have been developed to provide learners with the confidence to deliver engaging basketball sessions in a primary or secondary school environment. The workshops are ideal for teachers, individuals on a PGCE pathway and teaching assistants with little or no basketball teaching experience. The workshops are delivered using a game-based approach and are underpinned by the principles of the Basketball England Player Development Framework.
