BAC2A

NCEA L2 Basketball Academy A

Course Description

This is a multi-level Semester A course suited to students who are passionate about sport, specifically, Basketball. All of the learning taking place during the Semester will be in a Basketball context. We plan to complete units of work based around Basketball skills, both physical and tactical, Basketball fitness and event management. The course will be a mix of practical and class based work with the motivation to keep things as hands on and practical as possible. 

What a particular week in this course may look like is, two sessions based on developing the physical and tactical skills associated with Basketball, effectively, Basketball training sessions. One session based specifically on the fitness required for Basketball and one class based session working through whatever unit we are currently working on, event management etc.

The vision for this course is to offer learning in a context the students are passionate about, in turn, increasing their overall motivation to be at school. As well as the obvious benefits of students being more engaged, the second motivation is to develop the game of Basketball further at the school in order to start being more competitive against some of the major Basketball schools in the country. Basketball is a growing sport in New Zealand and we want to take the opportunity to jump on that train. This year we currently have 22 school teams involving around 200 students. 

Students who select this course will need to go through an application process in order for us to select students we feel will gain the most out of this course and spots are limited. If you have any questions or need further information on this course then please see me at school or e-mail me on [email protected].nz
