2022 HOBART CHARGERS BASKETBALL VISIT

Charger.PNG

Yesterday we had our first session with two players from the Hobart Chargers - AJ Harris from Dayton, Ohio and Jamar Sandifer from Dallas, Texas. Before playing for the Hobart Chargers, AJ was playing in Europe, and Jamar was playing in Mexico. AJ hopes to one day play in the NBL for the Tasmanian Jack Jumpers! Both players had a lot of knowledge and experience to share with us. We developed and practised so many different skills including, dribbling, passing, cooperation, shooting, our footwork, our reaction skills and eye tracking.

Last week Mr Rogers put up chain basketball nets on our hoops! They have been a big hit at recess and lunch time.

Here are some comments from some basketball superstars:

  • Nova - I enjoyed bouncing the basketball.
  • Max - I liked throwing the ball at the hoop.
  • Anderson - I found it fun to catch the ball.
  • Lila - I enjoyed trying to throw the ball into the hoop. I got 3 in!
  • Ava - I liked cross over bouncing into each hand.
  • Blaze - I enjoyed bouncing the ball.
  • Scarlett - I liked shooting for hoops. I almost got two in!
  • Lola - I enjoyed trying to shoot!
  • Grace - I liked getting into getting into 4 groups and race whilst bouncing. It was fun to move the ball between our legs as we walked.
  • Archie - I liked playing golden child!
  • Lacie - enjoyed playing ‘who could get the 7 shots in first’
  • Riley - I liked the shooting to 7 game!
  • Freya - I enjoyed playing gold, I got 3 in and the golden child out!
  • Tyson - I enjoyed playing basketball! I liked playing.
  • Seth - I liked playing the game at the end!
  • Henry - I think the visit was good because we got to learn more skills.
  • Bryce - I enjoyed around the world!
  • Kyeshia - I liked the challenge of shooting to 7!
  • Myler - I got really surprised when they said the were trying out for NBL Jack Jumpers.

Thank you to Brooke from Swisherr hoops academy for organising these sessions! Our students won’t be forgetting this opportunity anytime soon. Thank you to AJ and Jamar for your time with us, we can’t wait for our second session with the Hobart Chargers at the start of next term!

"Why won’t any of our kids be travelling these school holidays? Because basketballers aren’t allowed to travel!"
