Basketball Skills (White)

About this sport

Basketball is our largest program, and it runs through the winter. Athletes train on skills at practice and play games against other Special Olympics programs around central Ohio.

For athletes new to basketball, or still learning the game. Practice is about the basics — dribbling, passing, shooting — at a pace where everybody gets the ball.

Fridays, 5–6 pm at Upper Arlington Lutheran Church - Lytham Road Campus, Nov 6 – Dec 11

Next: Fri Nov 6

What to bring

Gym shoes and a water bottle. The club provides the jersey.

Good to know

There are three groups, so a new athlete and a seasoned one both have somewhere to play. If you are not sure which one fits, come along and we will work it out together.
