| CIA COACHING SERVICES |
| CIA coach basketball to over 40 Primary and Secondary
schools in the UK, spanning several London Boroughs and reaching thousands
of young children every year. Our players act as role models for our young people and work on court as mentors. We firmly believe that players benefit from what they're taught, being effectively used on the court. Uniquely, after successful assessment and CRB checks, our players are trained and employed as coaches and go out to all schools, developing the fundamentals first and leading them all the way to competition. Coaching ranges from Early Morning sessions, PPA Time (Planning, Preparation and Assessment), Lunch Time Clubs and after-school (or extra-curricular) sessions. We also coach within the National Curriculum program meaning we coach not only those who show a committed interest in basketball, but also those developing a diverse love for sport. We even coach teachers! After seeing their students progress, many teachers sign up to be taught a Level 1 or 2 Coaching Award to receive a basic grounding in basketball. In a move to develop basketball in schools further, CIA now sponsor and run the Sutton Primary Schools League and Sutton Secondary Schools League. The League widens the opportunities for young people to find regular, controlled and safe competition after securing funding from England Basketball. Because our players work with the schools, they coach them throughout the School's League too so children/students can effectively put into practice what they're being taught each week, with measurable progress. If you would like to receive coaching for your school or college or would like to speak to a member of our team regarding sponsorship of our coaching community program or School's League, email us, coach@ciabasketball.com or call the CIA office on 020 8684 1603. |
