A summary
Every Friday we give young basketball players the opportunity to wind down each week with an open scrimmage held at the Charles Dickens Centre. We help out with some concepts and give the players some things to think about, but other than that the players run the session do they can learn how to figure things out for themselves. This scrimmage is open to children in the following 3 age brackets - Under 12, Under 14 & Under 16. We split the court based on age/ability and have 2 half court games running based on how many we have attend which could vary from 3v3, 4v4 or 5v5. We always love to see young people working on their game and this session is another outlet to do so in Portsmouth so we hope to see you there soon.

Current roles include: University of Portsmouth - 1st Team Mens Coach City of Portsmouth College - 1st Team Mens Coach Portsmouth Force - Under 12 National League Coach When it comes to coaching basketball, I always want to transfer my values (Respect, Resilience, Communication, Teamwork and Hardwork) to my players in order for them to start thinking about their own values.
