Our philosophy
Our teachings are based on a series of principles which guide and inform our approach. Learn more about some of our beliefs.
Developing good habits
We believe in instilling good habits and sound fundamentals from an early age, that’s why we work with players as young as five. The teaching of fundamental skills has many layers that are often overlooked or underestimated. We take time to develop these skills and integrate them into each session.
This approach has proven successful away from the basketball court too. We have found that by instilling a focus from an early age, ensuring players enjoy their first experience of the sport in a safe environment that is well structured and with appropriate boundaries, we are able to curb many of the issues relating to young people today.
“It’s an art, not a science”
We adopt an organic, as opposed to linear, approach because each child presents different challenges and adopts different styles of learning. In order to get the most out of our players, coaches must learn how to work with the players they have.
Going beyond basketball
Our belief is that basketball, and sports coaching generally, can be utilised as a tool to positively affect change in communities across the globe. Our aim is to instill principles, through basketball, that will benefit our players beyond the basketball court.
Many great minds have referred to basketball as ‘a metaphor for life’. The lessons learnt on the court so often translate into our everyday lives - how we learn to react whilst training informs our daily decisions. Therefore, if we are given correct boundaries and appropriate discipline, we stand a good chance of coping with life’s many challenges.
