Our curriculum
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.

Eligibility Criteria
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
Learning aims
Aim 1
The club aims to motivate young people through the sport of basketball, believing, that such participation, will have a casual effect on young people's self-perception and self-confidence and that it will operate to alleviate some of the frustration of life in a somewhat depressed and deprived environment.
Aim 2
Its philosophy is, "Winning is an attitude - it is not about winning a game of basketball, but winning the game of life - saying yes to the positives and no to the negatives.”
Aim 3
We are proud to continue Jimmy’s Legacy via South London Topcats Community Interest Company (CIC) aka Brixton Topcats Basketball Club to ensure that the club has governance, policies and procedures in place to protect the interest of Lambeth and the wider community’s young people, putting safeguarding, basketball, education and life progression for young people at the heart of everything we do.
