Schools Basketball Programmes

Fun, inclusive basketball sessions for primary schools and local communities


Fastbreak Basketball delivers engaging, age-appropriate basketball sessions for primary school children aged 6–11, designed to help children enjoy being active, build confidence, and develop fundamental movement skills.


What We Offer to Schools


We offer flexible basketball programmes that can be tailored to meet the needs of your school, including:

  • Curriculum PE basketball sessions

  • Lunchtime activity sessions

  • After-school basketball clubs

  • One-off enrichment days or short coaching blocks


All sessions are inclusive and suitable for children of all abilities, including complete beginners.


Our Approach


Our school sessions focus on fun, participation, and confidence-building. Sessions are delivered using a games-based approach that keeps children active, engaged, and motivated.


Sessions are designed for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils (ages 6–11).


Our delivery is consistent with the principles of Basketball England’s Slam Jam programme, which is designed to get school-aged children active and engaged through basketball in a fun, inclusive, and accessible way.


In line with Basketball England guidance, our sessions:

  • Prioritise enjoyment and participation over competition

  • Use simple, age-appropriate activities and games

  • Encourage all children to be involved, regardless of experience

  • Support positive behaviour, teamwork, and confidence


This ensures our sessions align with nationally recognised best practice for introducing basketball in schools.


Benefits for Children


Our basketball sessions help children to:

  • Improve coordination, balance, and fundamental movement skills

  • Build confidence and self-esteem in PE and physical activity

  • Develop teamwork, communication, and respect for others

  • Engage positively in structured physical activity


These outcomes support both physical development and wider wellbeing.


Safeguarding & Quality


The safety and wellbeing of children are central to everything we do.

  • All sessions are delivered by qualified, DBS-checked coaches

  • We follow best-practice safeguarding procedures


Further information can be found on our Safeguarding page.
