Panthers
Academy
Ages 8 to 14, in partnership with Chamabondo Primary School and schools across Victoria Falls.
8 to 14
The academy
The heartbeat
of the club
The junior programme is where the basketball culture of this town is actually built. Sessions blend sport, education and life skills, and they run every weekday at 5pm.
In partnership with Chamabondo Primary and other local schools we provide weekly training, mentorship and real competition through our own interschool league.
If a child can run, jump and is curious about the game, that is enough to start. We handle the crossovers and the defence.
For parents
How to
enrol
Basketball for Good is the model behind the academy: educational support, life skills workshops and mentorship alongside the training.
Children arrive for the game and stay for everything that surrounds it.
- Come to a session
Weekdays at 5pm, Chamabondo Primary School. Bring water and trainers, nothing else.
- Meet the coach
We will talk you through the right group for your child, the season, and what we expect from players.
- Register
A small monthly fee covers coaching and equipment. Scholarships exist, and no child is turned away over money.
- Play a season
Fixtures in the VFJBL, a table, a final, and photographs their family will keep.
