Young ballers now have the chance to practice their basketball skills in a fun and social environment, thanks to Council’s new Camden United Resilience Basketball (CURB) program.

The FREE program features a weekly two-hour session for people aged 10 to 18 years live, work or study in the Camden area. The program will allow them to level up their basketball skills, build resilience and discuss wellbeing.

CURB runs every Tuesday from 3-5pm at Julia Reserve Youth Precinct in Oran Park. The program is an initiative of Camden Council, delivered with the support of The Y NSW and Big Yellow Umbrella.

There’s no need to register, and those who are interested can simply show up.

Mayor of Camden, Cr Ashleigh Cagney, said CURB was a beneficial program for Camden’s youth.

“Julia Reserve in Oran Park is a fantastic facility, and it’s great that we’re able to utilise it with a great youth program like this,” she said.

“It’s a great way for young people to stay active, be social and find out about local support services available to them.”

CURB runs until 28 November. For more information, visit bit.ly/camdenbasketball.
