FREE basketball sessions are running throughout the summer as Bridport Evolution look to build their squad for the new season.
Anyone interested in the sport is being invited to attend the free Monday night sessions at Bridport Youth Centre, whatever their experience or ability level.
The summer sessions will be focused on fitness and basketball basics making it the perfect time for new people to join.
The summer sessions are initially for teenagers and adults aged 14+ but a new junior session will begin in September.
Coach Tom Glover said: We re hoping the free sessions will attract some new faces to the club, even if it s just people who are looking for new ways to keep fit.
Over the summer we will cover all the basics of the sport as well as building fitness so it s perfect for anyone new to the sport. If they wish to continue with the club come September they will have all the skills they need to compete.
We did a similar thing last season and had quite a few new players who ended up staying for the season and helping us win a trophy.
We have a real mix of players now aged from 14 to 50+, some have been playing since they were kids and some only picked up a ball a few months ago. It s a really friendly club and we re always on the hunt for more players so if you or anyone you know fancies giving it a try then please get in touch. Next season Bridport will be competing in the Exeter and District Basketball League, re-igniting local rivalries with Crewkerne and Weymouth. The league season begins on Monday, September 16th and will run until March 2014.
The Monday night sessions run from 7pm to 9pm at Bridport Youth Centre. For more information call Tom on 07738 153511, and follow the club on Facebook and Twitter facebook.com/BridportEvolutionBasketballClub @BridportEvo.
