The Suns' Progressive Development Pathway

At the outset, we introduce each child to our foundational "Development Sessions." These tailored sessions, initially grouped by age, cater to kids new to organized basketball. Participants engage in skill-building exercises and enjoyable games, fostering a well-rounded experience. From these development sessions, children advance to specialized "Development Squads." Here, they dive into local leagues, engaging in tournaments, and friendly matches, nurturing their growth further. For those displaying exceptional commitment, skill, and experience, a remarkable opportunity awaits – participation in the prestigious National League Programme. This is an initiative, organized by Basketball England, and grants access to the nation's most advanced basketball league.

​

Purpose and Benefits of Taster Session

The taster session serves as an opportunity for the child to explore their interest in our program. Simultaneously, our coaches will assess the session's compatibility with the child's needs. Please note that only one taster session is permitted.
