Bristol Brickers
Basketball Club in Southmead
This basketball session is aimed at young people in secondary school (under-18s). The sessions cost £2 (unless they’re outdoors, those are free!) and will include a mixture of informal and organised games, a little bit of structured work with drills and some personal development (made up of teamwork, and concentration on emotional/physical/spiritual/mental health for young athletes).
Book for next session:
What do I need?
You don’t need to know the rules, because our passionate team will happily coach you through the basics so that you can enjoy the game! Although you don’t need any specific gear, it’s recommended that you bring suitable footwear and breathable, comfortable clothes and a water bottle.
In summer months (April to September) our sessions are outdoors and young people can simply ‘show up’. During winter months (October to March) all young people will need to register with us for Health and Safety reasons as we move indoors - those forms are available on the door or you can download it below.
Matt has loved playing basketball since his older brother introduced him to the game at 11 years old. He has taken a break from playing for the Bristol Braves team in order to support the Bristol Flyers as a voluntary Chaplain, and he supports the LA Lakers.
