Basketball is Going Down a 'Storm'!

Year 7 student, Morgan is one of the many students who take part in Basketball during our enrichment periods.

Thanks to our new development, we can now boast state-of-the-art facilities for Basketball and our students are making the most of it both in PE lessons and after school.

Our students have been training with Bishop Auckland Basketball Club, a brand new club recently established as a branch of the professional Darlington Storm Basketball Club. All year groups have been taking part in Basketball training and games each Thursday during the Enrichment period. They have quickly discovered that this fast-paced, tactical sport is an excellent way to keep fit, build stamina and strength and develop strategic team skills, which has its advantages in many other sports.

The club is also open to our community sports fans each Thursday evening, with Juniors from 5.30pm - 7.00pm and Seniors from 7.00pm - 8.30pm; recruitment is now underway. For further details, please call KJ1 Community on 01388 603 388.
