The US Consulate General in collaboration with YMCA Bombay will host ace American basketball coach JD Walsh to conduct various coaching sessions for school children, coaches and senior basketball players across Mumbai.
The highlight of his stay in Mumbai is a basketball workshop organized in collaboration with YMCA at Mastan Baug.
Walsh, founder of JD Basketball, is a sought after lecturer on basketball fundamentals and life values learned from the game. Based on a proven regimen created from his own experience, Walsh has led basketball workshops worldwide -- using the same principles that have been implemented by NBA, university, prep, and youth players worldwide. Through the school's training methods, children worldwide have become empowered, connected, and are achieving tremendous results.
Founded in 1998 with the simple intent to teach local kids in the New York metro area the fundamentals of the game, JD Basketball has evolved into a global enterprise that has operated on three continents and touched over 10,000 lives -- and counting.
Prep, collegiate and professional players and coaches worldwide have implemented the basketball training methods developed by Walsh.
Utilizing the game as an innovative method to educate children, JD Basketball integrates game changing social education and responsible programming in an elite basketball skills format.
