High energy workshops rolled out across communities

JLP Basketball facilitators Jamie‑Lee and Alex visited Jabiru for a week of high‑energy, skills‑based activities with local children. 
Across Monday to Thursday, they delivered engaging workshops during school hours, with a strong focus on building fundamental basketball skills such as ball handling, footwork, teamwork and game awareness, while also incorporating fun, fast‑paced dodgeball sessions that encouraged participation from students of all abilities. 
In addition to the in‑school workshops, they ran three after‑school sessions that provided extra time for young people to practise what they had learned, build confidence, and enjoy a positive, structured activity in a safe environment. 
A key strength of the program was the strong partnership with Jabiru Area School, the Stars Foundation and Clontarf, whose collaboration and support were essential in enabling student attendance, coordinating groups and creating a supportive environment for young people to participate fully.
The program was very well received, with students responding enthusiastically to the coaches’ supportive approach and the mix of skill development and playful competition.
