Rathdown Jun B in action against Loreto Dalkey
Basketball is one of the fastest growing team sports in the world. Players of all ages can get enormous enjoyment from this quick and exciting sport. Rathdown School introduced basketball as a competitive after school sport in 2009 and considering this is a new sport for the school, the girls have done very well competitively in the game so far. There are 2 coaches taking the pupils after school and this allows all teams to have 2 training sessions per week. Matches and extra training take place on Saturday mornings.
