Basketball for Schools
During the school holidays we run basketball camps for children and young people in partnership with local primary and secondary schools. Our work supports pupils’ wellbeing, positive peer relationships, and key transitional points such as the move from Year 6 to Year 7. Alongside our holiday camps, we also offer school activities on a voluntary basis, including sports sessions for induction days and transition support and provide opportunities for sixth form and college students to get involved.
School Holiday Camps
Our basketball camps support schools by strengthening peer relationships, wellbeing and positive transitions from primary to secondary education.
We work with secondary schools and their feeder primary schools to give pupils, particularly those moving from Year 6 to Year 7, the opportunity to meet secondary school students and peers from other schools in a structured, supportive environment. This helps children build confidence, familiarity and social networks ahead of the transition.
Also, our camps help reduce social anxiety, encourage positive peer relationships, and support mental wellbeing, resilience, and a sense of belonging through sport.
If you’d like to offer our camps to your students through your newsletter, or you’d like to discuss how our camps can be tailored to your school and its feeder schools, then please contact us.
Activities for Schools
We offer a range of voluntary basketball activities for primary and secondary schools, designed to support pupil’s peer relationships, mental wellbeing, and positive behaviour, including reducing bullying.
Activities include taster sessions for all age groups, induction day activities, and ice-breaker basketball sessions for new Year 7 pupils, helping children build confidence, from positive connections, and settle into new school environments.
If your school would like to explore how these activities could support your pupils, please contact us to arrange a meeting to discuss what we can offer.
Sixth Form / College Opportunities
Sixth form and college students can get involved on a voluntary basis at our holiday camps, gaining valuable work experience in leadership, teamwork and communication.
Alongside this, we can run basketball activities during term time which provide a positive way for students to stay active, de-stress, and support their mental wellbeing.
By involving older students, these opportunities help strengthen support networks within schools, as younger pupils benefit from positive role models and familiar faces.
If you would like to find out more about these opportunities, please contact us to discuss how we can work with your sixth form or college.
About the Coaches
Hello, I’m Jess, the head coach at the basketball camps and school-based activities. I attended St Peter’s School in Guildford growing up and played basketball at National League level and represented South East England on several occasions.
I lived in New Zealand for a couple of years as a young adult, I volunteered to coach basketball at the local high school there and also successfully ran my own holiday camps and one to one skills based sessions.
I have been involved as a player and coach in many clubs around the Surrey area. My goal for the camps is to create a really positive atmosphere and make sports engaging, fun and enjoyable for all children.
I have a wonderful team of coaches working with me at the camps. All coaches have enhanced DBS checks. You can see our safeguarding policy here.
