AASE basketball programme on Sky Sports
Posted to Careers at 12:18 pm on August 14th, 2009 by Andrew BrownBack in February we visited Southend to see the AASE Basketball apprentices in action at a training camp and get some footage for the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence Video that we produced for National Apprenticeships Week.

You can see the programme on Sky Sports 1 on Monday 17 August at 5pm, with repeats at 7pm on Sky Sports 3 later that day and 1pm (SS3) and 2.30pm (SS2) on Tuesday 18 August. We’ve had a sneak preview, and it is a fantastic feature on the AASE programme and how it is benefiting British Basketball, so watch out for it. If you do miss it, we hope to be able to bring you the footage here on the SkillsActive blog afterwards.
