Basketball Profile
“Basketball teaches students lessons that they can’t learn in a classroom.”
The Basketball Profile is intended for students who want to learn and perfect various individual skills and team tactics needed to play effective basketball. Students will also explore other aspects related to the practice of basketball.
The aim of this profile is to help students learn the rules and skills specific to basketball as well as a few key principles that will help them play this team sport. Through progressive hands-on practices students will develop the skills required to play on offense and defense.
Students in the Basketball Profile will learn how to work together, get along and play with other people, with one goal in mind: to be able to play team basketball.
Students will be evaluated on the specific competencies set out by MELS:
- Perform movement skills and improvement in basketball.
- Interact with others in a team sport (participation)
- Adopt a healthy, ethical, and active lifestyle (effort)
A passion for basketball is important for students interested in this profile.
