December Skills/Sport:

This month, we will begin basketball skills.  Students will start with passes, learning how to do bounce and chest passes.  For students in grades K-2, I recommend a rubber ball about the size of a basketball.  All students in grades 3-8 should have their own basketballs!  We will move on to dribbling, left, right, and crossovers.  Students should be able to dribble with both hands.  We will then practice shooting the ball into the hoops.  Practice at home is strongly encouraged!








December Monthly Challenge:

Ball Twists and Bicycles:

Students will be taught how to do ball twists, so please have a ball the size of a basketball at home for daily practice.  Students will also do bicycles.  Both of these exercises are a great core workout, so feel free to join in!  Grades K-2 do 5 of each exercise, and grade 3-8 do 10 of each.
