Introduction to competitive basketball
Our U12s (school year 7) play on Friday evenings at 6.00pm at our home, Bullers Wood School for Boys.
At this level we continue the development of basketball skills, but introduce competitive matches. A selected group of U12s play in our CVL team. CVL stands for Central Venue League – a series of events where a number of teams converge on a venue for the day and play each other in series of matches. Last year, our U12s took place in a series of events at London Thunder, and won a CVL tournament at Worthing Thunder. The CVL team operates as an extra to the open sessions on Fridays, with match fees payable by those selected.
The U12s are led by Coach Steve, our Head Coach. As a pupil at Hayes School, Steve won the National Schools tournament. He went on to represent and captain the England age group team, and to play Div 1 National League Men’s Basketball. He now plays for Bromley Fury Vets.
Alongside Coach Steve is Coach Rory, who coaches our U12 CVL team. Rory is captain of Bromley Fury 1st Team.
U12 is a critical year, as the players gain experience to prepare them for the following year’s Junior NBL Teams U14 trials.
