COMMUNITY
As part of our vision to develop the awareness and participation in basketball in the South East, Sevenoaks Suns run a series of initiatives within the wider community in an effort to make the second most popular sport in the world more accessible for every child.
COMMUNITY SESSIONS
Suns currently run several development sessions open to all ages, gender and abilities:
-
Tuesday evenings in Tunbridge Wells
-
Wednesday, Thursday & Friday evenings in Sevenoaks
-
Saturday mornings in Sevenoaks
PRIMARY SCHOOL TOURNAMENTS
At least twice a year we support a primary school tournament open to any primary school wishing to take part. We also organise a monthly tournament for primary school-aged children on a Saturday
SCHOOL COACHING
We also run both curricular and extra-curricular programmes at primary and secondary schools. Current schools involved in this programme include Tunbridge Wells Grammer School for boys, The Skinners' School, The Weald of Kent Grammer and Knole Academy.
We are actively looking to enhance our relationships with local schools and are able to offer visits from our WBBL (current National Champions) as a tool to motivate.
HOLIDAY CAMPS
During the school holidays, we run Basketball Camps where children of all abilities can come and benefit from the coaching of our professional coaches with vast experience in the sport and youth development including the WBBL Coach of the year Len Busch.
The children will be taken through their paces, stretching their abilities and getting the best out of them as a person and a team player.
