From Shell Cove Public School

"The Shellharbour Bulls coaches were fantastic throughout the program. They were enthusiastic, professional and did a great job teaching our Stage 1 students basketball skills while keeping every session fun and engaging. It’s been great to see so many students continuing to play basketball during their break times since the program."
