Basketball

Learn Basketball the NBA way!!!

Basketball is not just a game, it is a lifestyle – this is the strong belief of the players at DAV.

We have taken concerted efforts to support and encourage the interests of budding basketball players. The basketball classes are being held at various venues of DAV Group of Schools in the early mornings and in the evenings by qualified and expert coaches. We also adhere to a standard coach – student ratio to maintain the quality of teaching and to also ensure that every child gets individual attention. 

Apart from teaching the fundamentals of the game like footwork, dribbling, passing and shooting, the fitness levels of the students is also given great importance. Budding players are exposed to a lot of fun activities in the course of training.
