Younger Teenager - All ability - Mixed - Loreto (3)

• To think a little more differently about how to play basketball. Players learn to see, create, and exploit space. Players grow the ability to play with ideas - that is of equal importance to success - as attaining The Highest Standard. Players experience the beauty of the dance that comes from playing with space. The joy that comes from adapting on the field of play to find previously unseen performance that always lies beyond attaining The Club Standard.
• No trials, No squads, No Ego's. While attaining the high Standard is important it is not the most important factor in succeeding. The most important factor in our success is our ability to play with ideas. To play with ideas we need to see, create, and exploit space where we can think a little more differently. But the pursuit of The Standard switches off the brain's ability to see space. So, we use Games Coaching.

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"
