Scroll down for session times and dates.
All teams are encouraged to participate in the club training sessions as this is where we can build our community, develop player fundamentals and establish our club values.
Training is scheduled for each Sunday during the school terms except for (most) weekends with a public holiday. Each session runs for 40 minutes with 3-4 teams sharing a full court.
There is a 5 minute buffer between sessions. Coaches, players and parents should finish training on time and clear the whole court promptly to allow the next group to get started on time
Team Coaches (or a parent from each team) are required to supervise the training sessions with the support of our Session Coaches or Club Coaches.
The teams are grouped based on age and experience so the skills are appropriate to each training session. This may be adjusted during the season.
The sessions will focus on fundamental skills relevant to each group. We are aiming for continual improvement and for those who are motivated, a pathway toward representative (VJBL) basketball by aligning our training program
Teams can run their own additional training sessions but to be covered by the association's insurance the team must inform the club of the time and venue in advance
We have a full court and a half court for some sessions - where possible coaches should share swap access the full court occasionally.
Breakout Courts - are to be used by the teams within the session as required. Teams can share this court or rotate use fairly so each team can have an individual session every 4-5 weeks. Session coaches can coordinate this within their group. Team coaches are encouraged to "break out" with there own team from time to time during the session to work on strategy or specific team skills
Alternating Courts - we are able to book one full court and a half court. In session where there are different age groups training we suggest alternating use of the full court and half court as required. Session coaches can coordinate this.
