Lead Coach
I’ve spent over 10 years working with young people through sport, and I still get excited about every single session. As lead coach at our upcoming camp, my focus is on creating a fun, safe, and inclusive space where every child can feel confident and enjoy being active—whether they’re new to basketball or looking to take their skills to the next level. I believe in making learning fun, encouraging teamwork, and helping each child feel like they belong. I can’t wait to welcome your child to camp and help them have a brilliant time on and off the court!

Cancellation Policy
Refunds are not generally available, but may be considered with sufficient notice.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
