When teaching basketball, quality basketballs that are round, well inflated, and in good condition are critical to help students develop good form and increase their accuracy on the court. Having more than one basketball per class allows for smaller groups and more practice for each student. Students are more engaged due to a shorter wait time to practice their shots and skills. With the increased number of basketballs students will be able to practice their dribbling drills, ball handling skills and increase their time practicing their jump shots and layups. With smaller groups and more engaged students our students' confidence and performance will increase both on and off the court.
