PROJETO DE EXTENSÃO ESPORTIVO DE BASQUETEBOL EM CONTEXTO ESCOLAR: PERCEPÇÕES DOS TREINADORES

The aim of the study was to report the perceptions of the coaches, authors of this report, about the implementation of the extension project of the Basketball Training Center (CFTB) in a school context. The project is a partnership between the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) and the Santa Catarina Federation of Basketball (FCB). This is a qualitative and descriptive study configured as an experience report. The results show that the infrastructure of the school is sufficient to carry out the project; a positive relationship with young athletes has been developed; the approximation between theory and practice and the convenience of the location, since the school is close to the university. The difficulties found were: the rainy days that cause leaks on the court, the unsuitable size of the backboards for the under 12 category, and the academic overload of the coaches. Our results led to the conclusion that the participation of coaches, despite the difficulties pointed out, has contributed significantly to the professional development of training.
