Visiting Australian Basketball Coach Ryan Burns has been attending the College of Micronesia (COM) Pohnpei Campus Basketball Class 4 times a week during his 6 week visit to Pohnpei. Fundamentals of Basketball ESS102 students have been learning many new basketball concepts throughout the weeks.

 Initially starting with defensive fundamentals, they covered the defensive stance, Onball defence and defence off the ball. The students then progressed to Team defence followed by individual offensive fundamentals and transition offence. The students had excellent attitudes and put in their very best efforts.

 "This is a great class to be involved in" said Ryan Burns, "The students listen well and have great attitudes which makes teaching much more enjoyable for everyone involved."

Assisted by Francisco Simram, the course has been a highly valuable experience for all of those involved.
