00:00Basketball runs through the veins of the Benbow family and our CBL player Tarkin and coach Scott is sharing that passion with the broader community.
00:11The father and son duo have launched Benbow Basketball Academy and are offering expert coaching to other region's budding players.
00:19It's been a dream for a few years, so yeah then we talked to Tarkin, wanted to do it too, shared passion and all that stuff, realised there was a need for it and wanted to do it because it's just our genuine love for the game of basketball.
00:33I've coached so many kids over the years too so I wanted to give back that way too.
00:37It's a start up business, we've been down to Melbourne to work with coaches down there, Gambia and just want to impart our knowledge, so that's how it all started.
00:44Absolutely loving it, it's good to meet all these new kids, seeing the smiles on their faces when they're playing and getting around it, I'm loving it so far.
