Basketball: New club starting

Dec 12 2008 Irvine Herald

K:A Leisure and the Active Schools Team are working together to establish a Community Basketball Team on the Irvine area.

Coaching sessions for S1-S6 boys and girls start up on Friday, January 16 next year and run from 7pm-9pm at Greenwood Academy.

The cost is £1.50 per two-hour session, places may be limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

As part of the first coaching session there will be a half hour meeting for anyone parents, carers and anyone with an interest in volunteering to help the team.

If you are good at administration, wish to be committee member or simply fancy doing a bit of coaching K:A Leisure want to hear from you and support for coach education and setting up the club will be close at hand through the Sport Development Officers and Active Schools Team.

If you are an interested volunteer contact K:A Leisure Sport Development Manager Barry Scott and he’ll be happy to help you with your involvement in the club.

“I’d encourage and support anyone who has an interest and some spare time to get involved,” said Barry.

“Our communities need strong organisations to provide the backbone for our future sporting potential.”
