Brixton Topcats Summer Basketball Camp

Our philosophy on basketball is that it is a vehicle for self-development. Fundamentals come first, such as passing, scoring, defending, moving without the ball, and team communication. We teach a positionless, high-IQ, team-first style of play. Winning is a by-product of consistency, discipline, preparation, and togetherness. Every session is a chance to enjoy and to develop players as athletes and people. Our sessions are planned, purposeful, and challenging. We coach details and we coach each person.

Lambeth HAF-funded places are for children and young people in reception to year 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals and attend a school in Lambeth. (Please note, this is different to universal free school meals that are available to all school-aged children). Each child can book up to 16 sessions this summer with any provider. Monday - Thursday is HAF funded and those eligible will receive lunch and snacks. Camp food provider Pastries — Taste of Jamaica brings authentic, home-style Caribbean cooking. Freshly prepared Jamaican favourites — curries, jerk chicken, rice dishes and our signature patties. Everything is made by hand with good ingredients, and we’re happy to provide vegetarian, halal and allergy-friendly options so there’s something for everyone at the table
