Basketball at Buckswood

Basketball is a dynamic and popular part of our P7 and Weekend Activities programme (no extra cost) at Buckswood, offering students the chance to develop their skills, improve fitness, and be part of a competitive and energetic team sport.

Whether you’re just starting out or already a confident player, our basketball sessions cater to all ability levels. Training takes place in our dedicated indoor basketball court, providing a professional setting for year-round play, skill-building, and competition.

A Typical Activity May Include:

• Skills Development: Sessions focused on dribbling, shooting, passing, positioning, and teamwork
• Team Play & Tactics: Game-based drills and match scenarios to build strategy and court awareness
• Competitive Fixtures: Buckswood teams participate in a regional basketball league, providing regular match experience against local schools and clubs

Basketball at Buckswood promotes the values of teamwork, resilience, discipline, and leadership, and is open to all students keen to get involved, improve their game, and represent the school.

Please note: Basketball is an optional extracurricular activity included in the P7 programme. Team selection for league fixtures may be based on performance and commitment. Additional sessions or trips may carry an extra fee. Each term’s schedule of activities is shared in advance.
