The Steve Nash Youth Basketball program is returning to Nelson. It’s an inclusive program designed to develop fundamental skills, sportsmanship, and a love of the game of basketball, with instruction by L.V. Rogers Secondary School senior boys basketball head coach Jeremy Phelan.
The program is a grassroots partnership between parents, community members, and BasketballBC designed to give children across Canada an opportunity to learn fundamental basketball skills in a fun, positive, and structured environment. Sessions will run Wednesdays between 5 and 6 p.m. at Hume Elementary School.
