Basketball
![Welbeck Defence Sixth Form College (DSFC)](javascript:PopupPic("/sports/images/bball1.jpg");)
Basketball is one of the many sports played at Welbeck during the spring term. It caters for a wide range of abilities from complete beginners to those with a little or a lot of experience.
The sessions consist of around 20-30 students of mixed ability, both male and female.
We are fortunate enough to have some highly skilled coaches who play for the nearby professional British Basketball League team, Leicester Riders, and all players will benefit greatly from their talent and experience.

Those who are new to basketball can learn the basics exactly the way they are supposed to be learnt from people who have been playing the sport for years, and those more experienced players will be able to further their skills.
For the most skilled players, whether experienced or new to the game, there is also the opportunity to play for the college team. This will involve further training sessions and games throughout the year against schools in the local area. The team are also lucky enough to have the Riders coaches accompany them to games which ensures we play to our full potential. Basketball is a highly enjoyable sport which is great fun recreationally and competitively, and Welbeck gives you a great opportunity to start playing and / or develop as a player which you can then continue through to university.
