The seminar will also assist those students who at the school level are preparing for the practical aspect of the CSEC Physical Education Subject, to be in a better position to execute their programmes knowing the basic rules of the game.
The association is also looking to improve its current crop of officials of the game in the town and will be looking for the seven clubs namely Kashif and Shanghai Kings, Wismar Pistons, Retrieve Raiders, Amelia’s Ward Jets, Block 22 Flames, Half Mile Bulls and Victory Valley Royals to send representatives to become aware of the most recent changes of the game after FIBA’s 2010 Official Basketball Rules.
