October Half-Term Basketball Development Camp U16 & U18 — Local League Players Portsmouth Force Basketball Club | Force in the Community This October half term, our U16 and U18 Local League players will have the opportunity to take part in a full day of basketball development, competition and game-based learning. The camp is designed for players who want to develop their individual skills, improve their basketball IQ and become more effective players in a competitive team environment. 🏀 Challenged at the Right Level Players will be grouped according to their age, experience and development level so that everyone can train and compete in an environment that challenges them appropriately. Our aim is to give every player the best possible experience, with meaningful challenges throughout the day rather than simply putting everyone into the same group. What the Day Includes 🏀 Advanced Skills Development * Ball handling under pressure * Shooting and scoring * Finishing * 1v1 and advantage creation * Footwork * Decision-making * Position-specific development 🧠 Basketball IQ Players will work on understanding the game, including: * Reading defensive situations * Making decisions under pressure * Spacing * Creating advantages * Off-ball movement * Playing within team concepts 🎥 Game Video Analysis Players will analyse game footage to understand what happens, why it happens and how better decisions can be made in real game situations. 📋 Game Concepts * Offensive systems and concepts * Defensive principles * Transition * Pick & roll concepts * Spacing and movement * Team communication * Reading the game 🔥 Competitive Challenges Players will take part in competitive activities designed to challenge their skills, decision-making and ability to perform under pressure. 🏆 Mini Tournament A competitive mini tournament will give players the opportunity to put their learning into practice and compete against their peers. 🏀 Match Play The day will finish with structured games where players can apply their skills, basketball IQ and game concepts in a competitive environment. Why Attend? This camp is designed to give U16 and U18 players a high-quality development environment combining coaching, competition and game understanding. Players will be encouraged to compete, make decisions, learn from mistakes and apply what they learn throughout the day. Not a club member? No problem! If you currently play for a Local or National League team, you are still welcome to join the camp and apply for a place. Develop your skills. Understand the game. Compete. Growing the game, shaping the future.
