WHAT THE PLAYERS SAY...
Richard Dos Santos
Academy Wing
"This season the academy has been extremely patient with my development as a player but constantly pushing me to new heights with accessibility to a well-maintained court and more. The coaching has been key to my development and IQ, putting faith in me as player to lead the team trusting me with a vision I never saw in myself and constantly hinting at ways to improve myself, not telling me but nudging me to figure things out for myself allowing me to become the player I am today and who I want to be be in a few years from now."
Samuel Jean
Academy Point Guard
"At the start of the season I was turning the ball over alot and missing my scoring opportunities as I just didn’t understand organised basketball at this level. But the coaches showed me all the details and intricacies down to a T to help me develop from plays to skills to footwork and they even went out of their way to give us extra conditioning above and beyond anything I've ever seen before. Coach has helped me improve in every way and is always there for us, whether it's practice, games, conditioning, skill work, whatever and whenever"
Reece Campbell
Academy Wing
"Training with the coaches at the academy, has been an eye opener for me. From not knowing a lot about basketball at a higher level to now learning so much through their knowledge and teaching has helped me improve my game in so many ways, such as shooting and dribbling, attention to detail and determination. Also playing at the academy has taught me that keeping my body conditioned and healthy is very important to be able to compete at high level. Coaches are always there at every session to help us improve and show us how to get to the next level. Our practices are detailed, always well-prepared and always challenging which has made us all so much better"
Ruben Antwi
Academy Guard/Wing
"The academy established a helpful and welcoming environment when starting my journey with the program. The coaches have helped me greatly with my skill in basketball as I was mostly just a street baller with not a great amount of organised basketball skill when I first came here. However the coaches are experienced and dedicated, and their love for the game drove me to work hard and I began to develop better basketball IQ, foot work, finishing and team play. The academy and coaches taught me more than just basketball, it's taught me the importance of consistency, patience, determination, heart, family and much more values like these which have helped me understand basketball is more than just a game...it’s life."
