The Basketball Academy is for students in Years 5 to 12. This academy will provide students with the unique opportunity to combine both quality education and physical exercise, and each student year group will receive expert coaching through practical, theoretical and strength conditioning sessions.
Students who are selected into the Basketball Academy will receive two basketball theory and practical lessons per week to develop their skills, techniques, tactics and decision making specifically for basketball. Players will be representing Living Waters Lutheran College at interschool, Rockingham Kwinana Associated Schools (RKAS) and independent college competitions, preparing them to be nominated to trial for the Western Australian Basketball League (WABL). Scholarships are available for this program. To find out more, please view our Frequently Asked Questions regarding scholarships.
