Once a week, our children trade the classroom for the court when Coach Steve from Rebound Basketball Academy visits ECLA for basketball class.
Coach Steve teaches dribbling, shooting, and passing, but the real lessons go beyond the basics of the sport. Children practice patience while waiting their turn, focus while following instructions, and persistence while working on a skill that takes practice to master.
Basic drills build coordination and confidence. Learning to control a bouncing ball or line up a shot takes real concentration for a young child, and every small success builds their belief in what their body can do.
Our children look forward to this class every week, and Coach Steve has become one of their favorite parts of Friday. This class is open to any ECLA family who would like their child to take part.
