The activity

Basketball, explained

Basketball is a fast team sport played five-a-side on an indoor or outdoor court, where players dribble, pass and shoot to score through a raised hoop. Children usually start with ball-handling games, footwork and simple passing drills before moving on to shooting technique, defence and small-sided matches. It builds coordination, speed, stamina and confidence, and teaches kids to communicate and make quick decisions as part of a team. Many children try it from primary-school age, often with lower hoops and smaller balls at first, and it suits kids who enjoy running, teamwork and a bit of friendly competition.

Who it's for

Children and teenagers aged 6 to 18, boys and girls, at all skill levels. At Kings' School Al Barsha the registration form lists under-8, under-10, under-12, under-14, under-16 and under-18 squads, plus a girls' squad. Players need to be enrolled in school.

What to expect

The academy's FAQ suggests booking a free introductory trial visit with its staff before signing up. To enrol, the form on its website asks for your child's date of birth, school, school year and any medical condition. Balls and equipment are provided; bring a labelled refillable water bottle, a T-shirt or jersey, shorts and trainers. After-school sessions usually start 10 to 15 minutes after the school day ends on weekdays. If your child has to miss a session, you can book a make-up on another day of the week with at least two hours' notice. Memberships run monthly, quarterly or annually. Ask the academy for current squad times and fees.
