Program Details
"Learn the Game" is designed for girls between the ages of 8 - 10 who want to learn more about playing the game of basketball while developing their basketball skills and confidence. 10 skills, 10 affirmations, 10 mini competitions Each week, the girls will learn one basketball skill, one positive statement about themselves and apply it to a structured competitive setting.
