Peninsula Aussie Hoops Online
After the recent announcement that the associations on the Peninsula (Chelsea, Frankston, Mornington, Southern Peninsula and Westernport) had “pulled down borders” in an effort to begin to work collaboratively for the betterment of basketball in the area, the group is pleased to announce its next big project – Peninsula Aussie Hoops Online!
With the support and guidance of governing bodies, Basketball Australia (BA), and Basketball Victoria (BV), the group has been working hard behind the scenes on a program that will provide grassroots participants an opportunity to be able to access training programs remotely and in an online format.
BV Basketball Development Officer, Samantha Kelsall spoke about BV’s support of the program;
“It has been great to see a group of associations work together to provide their community with a basketball program that has been appropriately adapted for the situation”.
“It is our job to provide people with the opportunity to participate in sport and this is the prime example of bringing the sport to the people”.
“I look forward to seeing this program become the success I know it will be and allow more children to experience the great sport of basketball”.
The Peninsula Aussie Hoops Online program will run 3 afternoons per week (Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday) at 4:00 pm starting on Sunday the 23rd of August and running until Thursday the 17th of September.
Sessions will be live and interactive so that we can provide feedback and coaching for participants in real-time, all sessions will be recorded and uploaded along with a list of drills and instructions so that it can be referred back to by families and participants in their own time.
We are excited to be able to provide this program for families completely FREE of charge, there is an option for families to purchase the Aussie Hoops Participant Pack which includes a size 4 basketball, personalised singlet, sticker sheet, and a backpack.
