Hoops Academies for Term One 2021

Registrations are now open for Hoops Academies around Canterbury

All of the Hoops Academies around Christchurch (and Selwyn) have now opened their registration portals. Hoops is a great way for Primary Aged players (and older at the YMCA and Gators) to learn and practice their basketball skills. Our dedicated Hoops page is updated each term with current dates, and any program changes. Keep an eye out next week for information on a “Girls Got Game” Academy as well!

 

COWLES HOOPS ACADEMY

The Cowles Stadium Hoops Academy has been up and running since the stadium re-opened late in 2012, and has had a tremendous increase in the demand. Because of this we’ve managed to increase the number of coaches we have available at the sessions, and can now enrol more interested children. This is a great opportunity for young basketball players to improve their skills with expert coaching in fun practice sessions. The Hoops academy is suitable for both beginners looking to learn, as well as basketballers looking to consolidate their skill level.

From 3:45pm – 4:35pm, Children in Years 0-4 have their sessions.

From 4:45pm – 5:35pm, Years 5-9 are coached (with higher ability players in this age group shifted into the Level 1 class, held at the same time on the other court).

Cowles Term One 2021 dates:

Monday 15th, 22nd February; 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th March 2021.

Term One pricing – one child is $75, $140 for 2, $210 for 3 children.
