Our Primary School Program

Our Primary Schools

Our company's main objective is to provide a high level of basketball provision within primary and secondary schools, offering before school, after school, lunchtime and curriculum time coaching sessions. Due to the quality of provision we offer our programme has been endorsed by every School Sports Partnership within both the Hillingdon and Slough boroughs.

Starting from Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 we develop a pathway of basketball provision which is based on the aims and attainment targets  of the National Curriculum for PE. The  company work closely with targets to deliver the fundamentals of basketball during curriculum hours, again working in tandem with the national requirements for skill development and learning within school sport

After-School Basketball Clubs

Our after school clubs are set up individually with each school and we target a range of age groups to encourage participation. Fees apply per term and we can also manage the club for you school, from initial enquiries and bookings from parents, to taking payments and finalising club registration.

Mentorship

A pivotal aspect of our primary sessions programme at Full Court Connections is the provision of complimentary mentorship sessions to our participating schools. These sessions, facilitated by Pete himself, encompass engaging 30-minute basketball interactions with the students every week. Going beyond the sport itself, our mentorship initiative has a dual focus: offering support to students who might be lagging behind in their academic work and addressing behavioural concerns within the school environment. By utilising basketball as a conduit, our aim is to motivate and inspire these students, nurturing both their academic progress and positive conduct.

Inset Days

Our commitment to education and skill enhancement goes beyond regular sessions. On inset days, our seasoned coaches, including Pete, collaborate with school teachers to elevate their proficiency in conducting effective basketball sessions. This involves meticulous dissection of game structures, drills, and techniques. For instance, we highlight strategies such as employing deceptive instructions to teach attention and concentration, like signalling "go" instead of the expected "run on the whistle." These dedicated days empower teachers with the resources they require to deliver impactful basketball experiences that deeply resonate with students, ensuring both engagement and skill enrichment.
