Fastbreak School Basketball Partnership Programme

Updated 24th July 2026

Supporting primary and secondary schools across South Cambridgeshire


Fastbreak Basketball is a Basketball England Accredited Club and has been awarded a Basketball England Development Grant to help develop sustainable basketball opportunities in primary and secondary schools across South Cambridgeshire.


We work in partnership with schoolsto increase participation in basketball, support teachers and create opportunities for pupils to continue their basketball journey beyond school.


Why Basketball?


Basketball is one of the world's fastest-growing sports and offers children and young people opportunities to develop:


  • Physical literacy and coordination
  • Confidence and resilience
  • Teamwork and communication
  • Decision-making and leadership
  • Lifelong participation in physical activity


Basketball is inclusive, engaging and suitable for pupils of all abilities.


Primary Schools (Years 1–6)


Introducing children to basketball


Our primary school programme is designed to give children a fun, positive first experience of basketball while developing confidence, teamwork and fundamental movement skills.


We can provide:


  • Curriculum PE lessons
  • Basketball England Slam Jam
  • Lunchtime activity sessions
  • After-school clubs
  • Basketball festivals
  • Teacher support and CPD


Our sessions focus on participation, enjoyment and developing physical literacy, ensuring children of all abilities can experience success.


Secondary Schools


Developing participation and school basketball


Fastbreak Basketball works with secondary schools to deliver basketball programmes for students in Years 7–11, with provision for Years 12–13 where appropriate.


Fastbreak works with schools to establish high-quality after-school basketball clubs that help students:


  • Improve basketball skills and game understanding
  • Develop confidence, teamwork and leadership
  • Prepare for local school competitions
  • Increase participation in physical activity
  • Progress into community basketball if they wish


Where appropriate, we can also support schools wishing to participate in Jr. NBA, including guidance with planning, organisation and player preparation.


Sessions can be tailored for beginners, recreational players or students looking to represent their school.


From School to Community Basketball


One of the strengths of partnering with Fastbreak Basketball is that pupils who develop a passion for the sport have opportunities to continue their journey beyond school.


Players can progress into:

Our aim is to create a connected pathway that allows young people to continue enjoying basketball throughout their school years.
