About the event
We might not have Steph Curry's technical and athletic skills - but we can learn the 3rd skill to co-create something out of the space between us. To dance with space to create something out of nothing - that we can’t yet see. Players are encouraged to not use superior technical and athletic skills and play to manipulate space by ...
- Making a micro decision without knowing what will happen.
- In the mind's eye - go to a helicopter view and see how the micro decision impacted the space.
- Take what we see in our minds eye into account and make another micro decision.
When we are good at doing this an effortless flow, rhythm, and pattern emerges as we achieve something we can't yet see. When everyone in a space has the 3rd skill - micro decisions ripple across players in a dance of space. It is beautiful to watch and play. A sense of - a feeling of - connection emerges. A timeless calmness.

What players and parents think
- We went to the most amazing basketball session in Hemel at Longdean school. My son is autistic and has ADHD he struggles to follow instruction and is extremely demand avoidant. This session took all the barriers away for my son and he had the most amazing time, his words “I loved it”. Well worth checking out
- A young players - "I like Jon’s sessions because instead of telling us what to do we all just work it out ourselves"
- A parent - "It’s refreshing to see someone run a sports session with a focus on kindness and flexibility instead of adherence to set patterns based on traditional ways of learning. We have always been made to feel welcome and encouraged to participate and my children gain confidence by being part of something that requires teamwork. As an observer, I enjoy seeing the players thinking about not just themselves but the whole team. It’s not about just playing ball, it’s about creative thinking, consideration of others and teamwork"
