Crossover Basketball and Jump Lab session

Danielle Frost —

During activities week a number of keen students came along to participate in a collaboration between Crossover Basketball and Jump Lab.

We were fortunate enough to have Mike along, who is currently the High Performance Manager of the Otago Nuggets Basketball team. Mike Spencer started with a warm up and plyometric session, reinforcing the importance of warming up properly before training sessions, as well as the benefit it will have on performance in sport, including Basketball. Following this Tim Gillan took over and spent time developing defensive skills in a variety of drills, followed by a 3x3 competition. Students were engaged and hopefully have some skills and knowledge to take away and apply in the future.
