Ozswoosh Rookie's (10–13 years)
The Rookies Basketball Skill Improvement Program is one of the longest running basketball programs in Brisbane, Australia. The curriculum was first developed by Coach Craig Rowe in 1998, and the program was re-established and updated in 2017.
It focuses on body movement fundamentals, which are the foundation for all skills of the game. This program works dexterity, running, stopping, pivoting, passing, rebounding, defense, and shot techniques. Play-based learning (or random practice) is implemented to ensure participants are both challenged and encouraged to compete and have fun. The program sets standards and expectations while providing opportunities for leadership and confidence building.
The cost is $130.00 for an 8-week term.
