ABOUT US
BBALL FUNDAMENTALZ is an independant community basketball provision founded and delivered by me...
COACH JAMES
I first started to become a basketball trainer/ coach when my then 5 year old son www.liljoshua.com picked up a basketball and wanted to learn how to play. Since then I have been approached by parents and young ballers alike to deliver a range of training provisions in the community.
As a dedicated basketball trainer with years of experience, I'm passionate about using the sport to foster growth, develop skills, and address behavioural challenges. My programs are designed to:
> Build fundamental skills: Develop a strong foundation for basketball success.
> Promote physical and mental health: Encourage a healthier lifestyle and improve overall well-being.
> Address behavioural challenges: Use basketball as a positive outlet and intervention tool.
> Create a supportive community: Foster a sense of belonging and teamwork.
As a basketball community, we've already made a positive impact in the Thurrock community, and we're eager to expand our reach. Whether you're a school, charity, or local organisation, we can work together to create a customised basketball program that meets your specific needs.
CHARITIES
We have also had the pleasure of working with the local community and schools in the Thurrock area to support the following charities:
With your help, we have raised over
£1,200
