Knox Academy Basketball

Basketball is a well established and ever expanding class within the Haddington Cluster.  We provide weekly training sessions for everyone and all of our training sessions are completely free.  Within this programme we have weekly training, school league competitions and sports events including East Lothian Youth Games. 

Basketball is an excellent way to get active, challenges your aerobic capacity, improves fundamental movement skills and improves balance and coordination.  Basketball is a great way to meet new people, build your communication skills and improve your team work.  Within these classes you will learn dribbling, passing, marking and shooting skills, alongside a vast amount of position specific areas.

As Knox Academy is a free class, we rely heavily on volunteers. We are always looking to extend our programmes and any support you may be able to provide as a leader, assistant or coach would be hugely appreciated.  We welcome all ages, whether parent or pupil, and provide full training and support.  Coaching and volunteering is a great way to learn and develop many skills that employers are looking for.  

If you have any questions on our programmes or you are interested in volunteering please contact us at tsalkeld@elcschool.org.uk
