For the 2018-2019 basketball season, P.S. 120 is proud to announce that there will be a Fourth Grade Practice Squad. Students that join the Practice Squad will be able to practice once a week in order to improve their basketball skills, communication skills, and learn leadership skills. Not only are students gaining more basketball skills but will be able to demonstrate commitment, responsibility, and show good sportspersonship at all times. During practices students will improve on their dribbling, shooting, passing, and knowledge of basketball etiquette/rules. One of the goals for the students in the Fourth Grade Practice Squad is to play in the P.S. 120 basketball team next season. Another goal that Mr. Balvin, the practice squad coach, has set for the students is the ability to play a full court game with little or no coach intervention. He stated that not only does he want students to learn about basketball but to gain a lifelong enjoyment for participation in a physical activities.
