“Basketball Commentary for New Talents” is an extension of the JC Junior Sports Reporters Programme, offering basketball enthusiasts aged 18-35 or aspiring commentators professional training and hands-on opportunities in basketball commentary.
The course includes workshops where an experienced basketball commentator shares commentary techniques and insights, a FIBA-accredited referee explains game rules for five-a-side and three-a-side basketball, and a coach break down tactics and techniques to enhance participants' understanding. Workshops also feature simulations for hands-on practice. Additionally, participants will gain real-world experience through live online commentary for local basketball games.
