The challenge:

In celebration of the GB Team’s participation in the Olympic Games next year, the search is on for some great school basketball-based projects. With the GB men’s and women’s teams set to be the most successful the country have ever seen, now is the time to get behind the sport and encourage children to be part of it.

What is the project?

There are a number of ways in which your school can be involved in the challenge: in the classroom, around the school or involving other schools. The suggested areas your basketball based projects could cover are:
• A cross-curriculum project
• An intra-mural competition
• Assemblies based around the sport
• An inter-school competition
• Exciting and interactive wall displays

Who can enter?

• Any primary, middle, secondary or special school in England.

Prizes:

The best projects submitted will qualify for a once in a lifetime school visit from one of the GB men’s or women’s basketball team players. This is a unique chance to have an Olympic athlete visit your classroom and meet the children to share their experiences of what playing at the top is all about.

All entrants will receive:

• FREE membership of England Basketball & Mini-Basketball England
• FREE internet resources to include an assembly pack & GB player profiles
• FREE monthly e-newsletter from GB Basketball
• FREE intra-mural competition guidelines
