This course is designed to provide Cadets with the ability and knowledge necessary to play and coach the game of basketball. It is intended to assist students in developing basic skills for playing as well as teaching the fundamental basketball skills while nurturing an appreciation for basketball as a lifetime physical activity. In addition, leadership skills, team development, and the value of teamwork are stressed through live competition. Cadets are evaluated on their demonstration and knowledge of fundamental skills, performance on the James Naismith Basketball Obstacle Course, individual and team performance, and a written term end exam.
