About the Program
The Indomitable Basketball Academy is a new program at WISC. We aim to provide top quality basketball provision here at World International School Cambodia and offer our students the opportunity to become the best they can be. Our program is aimed at the long-term development of each student's skills with appropriate learning stage. Our Basketball academy has a part-time professional basketball coach. The basketball program ranges from cubs (beginners) through to highly competitive teams using the school’s purpose built outdoor court.
At WISC,activities at this level are a great introduction to basketball because the focus is on the basics of the game. The trainers emphasize building passion at this age group through constantly engaging students in fun-filled activities, incorporating good movement and coordination exercises. To enrich the experience, modified balls and courts are used to give the students age-appropriate equipment so as to allow them greater sense of success whilst simulating the feeling and skills of adult basketball.
At WISC, the program is set-up to allow this group of players, to focus on building a strong foundation of the fundamentals of shooting which include proper foot alignment, leg bend, hand position, arm angle, follow through, lays ups, foot work, post play, passing, jab steps, jump stops, pivoting, blocking out. Dribbling, rebounding and defense will be covered in addition to refining basic passing and jumping.Your child will also take part in many basketball challenges and have lots of fun through playing, learning and competing.
At this level, the WISC basketball program enhances the improving your child’s game by introducing jump shots, cutting and screening, emphasizing consistency and also introducing basic tactics through simplified games. It is also important to mention that ways to help your child improve in dribbling and footwork is a continuous process through the levels.
This level comprises the school's representative teams. It is designed for the seasoned junior player with a few years’ experience. At this level your child should be able to demonstrate a technically sound performance. We will focus on improvements by addressing small details, as this is the stage where a player transforms from a “ball dribbler” to a “basketball player”.
This level also emphasizes in depth analysis and understanding of court positioning, phases of the game, and proper shot selection. We offer an introduction to the ever-fascinating and all-important mental and emotional aspects of the game of basketball. Our academy continues helping our child by providing basketball-specific physical conditioning with the addition of strength and endurance training, while continuing speed and agility training.
