Basketball
Basketball is a developing part of the Kingswood Sports Academy, giving students the chance to build confidence, fitness, coordination and teamwork in a fast-paced sport. The programme encourages students to learn new skills, understand tactics and represent the Academy as the sport continues to grow.
Basketball provides students with an exciting opportunity to develop their skills in a fast-paced, competitive and inclusive environment. Through regular training and competitive opportunities, students improve key skills such as passing, dribbling, shooting, movement and decision-making, while also developing teamwork, communication, discipline, commitment and resilience. Sessions encourage students to challenge themselves, work effectively with others and build confidence, with enjoyment and a love of the game at the heart of the programme. As basketball continues to grow within the Academy, it provides another valuable pathway for students to represent Kingswood with pride and experience the benefits of being part of a team.

• The Academy played its first competitive basketball fixture this year.
•The team secured an exciting 15–14 friendly victory in a local tournament.
