The Dark Knights Basketball Programme has become an integral part of Topfield College and Topfield Schools extracurricular offerings.
It is a well-established fact that achieving proficiency in basketball necessitates a significant time commitment, typically involving at least two years of regular practice to acquire sufficient experience.
A key strength of our programme is its ability to develop students with no prior basketball knowledge into skilled players while they continue to meet their academic obligations. By offering a comprehensive training programme comparable to those of non-school academies, our students engage in 10-11 months of intensive practice annually, with three to four sessions per week.
This commitment has enabled them to excel in secondary school basketball in Lagos, South West Nigeria, and the country as a whole. The team's impressive participation and winning record are a source of inspiration for fellow schools.
Today, Anita Akinbami is highlighted as a player to watch. As a product of Topfield Schools, she joined the team in her junior years and has demonstrated notable progress.
Although statistical data is not available, video footage showcases her impressive skills. Building on the legacy of Uchechi Dikeocha, Anita Akinbami is poised to take centre stage in female secondary school basketball. Please enjoy this highlight reel featuring her notable achievements.
