BC Seagull - Programs

Plan and Program

The plan and program are designed to be flexible enough to adapt to the age, natural oscillations, and work capacity of all athletes in the club, the weekly micro cycle within the Mini Basket school, as well as four to five times a week for the older selections. In creating our work plan and program, we have taken into account all the laws of sports training (for the given age group), the specificities of the sport, principles and methods of work, expertise, creativity, and knowledge of the coaches, as well as the geographical location, climate, and other natural resources that will enable us to work more efficiently.

MINI basket

Ages 6 to 8 years

Basketball at this age is adapted to the children's category. The game has its own rules and principles that are different from older categories. The guiding principle at this age is:
"You play to learn," not "you learn to play"!

Through our program, children will develop a wide range of motor abilities and skills, and learn the basic basketball movements in a fun way.

It is very important to understand that the primary goal is not winning, but to have fun playing basketball. Learning basic sports and basketball skills will build a foundation that will enable children to fully develop their physical potential in the coming years.

YOUNGER PIONEERS

Ages 9 to 11 years

The main goal at this level is to learn basic movements and basketball skills in a fun way. To instill a love for basketball, children need tangible examples. Through our work program, children will be able to develop and improve the fundamentals of the game they acquired in the MINI BASKET program.

The focus will be on individual technique and athleticism. We will provide children with the opportunity to learn new working methods and acquire new knowledge and skills from demonstrators. In our program, it is important to enable children to have proper psycho-physical and social development, improve motor abilities, and strengthen their competitive spirit. Working with children is organized in a way that allows each child to express their talent, socialize with peers, and compete.

Testings: Evaluation of speed at 5, 10, 20, and 30 meters.

Motor abilities: coordination, agility, speed, flexibility, and precision.

Basketball skills: Basic offensive stance, triple threat position, ball control in dribbling (high, low dribble), dribbling movement, stopping (in one or two contacts), pivoting, passing and catching the ball, shooting position, basic defensive stance, defensive movement, and 1-on-1 play.

PIONEERS

Ages 12 to 14 years

At this age, we continue to improve and automate previously learned technical and tactical elements of the game, introducing more complex exercises. We encourage the development of sports ethics and fair play during training and competition. Players in this group reach a period where conditions for the development of speed, acceleration, explosive strength, and coordination are created.

Testings: Evaluation of speed at 5, 10, 20, and 30 meters. Running speed with the ball for 20 meters, ball control, basketball stance.

Motor abilities: complex coordination, agility, speed in all directions, explosive strength, balance, flexibility, and precision.

Basketball skills: Ball handling (1, 2, and even 3 balls simultaneously), dribbling movement: change of pace, change of direction, body fakes, all types of dribble changes, stopping in dribble, pivots. All types of passing, ball catching, shooting (all types of shooting at the basket). Defense: defensive movement, open and closed stance, semi-closed stance, help defense, contesting shots.

Tactics: fast break, quick attack, positional attack (pass and cut, give and go, V-cut, L-cut, backdoor cut, front door cut). Learning the rules in positional offense and defense.

ATHLETICS PROGRAM

Working in the field of athletics, basics of sports (running techniques, jumping, proper breathing, shaping exercises, etc.), is a novelty in our club's offer. This program will be adapted to all children who want to join and learn the basics of proper running, jumping techniques, shaping exercises, stretching, etc. Unlike basketball training, this part of the activities will take place in nature.

All boys and girls aged 9 to 12 are welcome.
