Can anybody register for these sessions?

Yes, these sessions are available to all junior players who wish to improve their game whether they play for a BMBA team or they play for any other team or club. Our goal is to provide as many juniors who want to receive it the best quality coaching possible.

 

If your child plays for another team our sessions will complement your team by raising your skill level. Alternatively, they can continue playing for their current team while also joining a BMBA squad. The choice is entirely yours.

Why BMBA?

Others may be bigger but we're better

We are not the biggest basketball program in Melbourne and nor do we want to be. Bigger basketball clubs and Associations do not provide value for service when it comes to delivering high-quality coaching and training and the reason’s for this are understandable. The BMBA was initiated to service junior players who have a desire and a motivation to develop and acquire a high skill level for the game of basketball while also gaining significant knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of the games offences and defences. 

 

In doing this, we give each of our participants every chance of obtaining the most enjoyment possible from the game. So while some may others may be bigger, we are better and here is a lengthy list of the reasons why: 

 

  • We conduct 90 minutes sessions, not the 30 or 45 session normally provided. In our opinion one 90 minute session per week is the minimum required to achieve real development in acquiring  higher skill and knowledge levels
  • We implement different standards of training for different levels of skill. From beginner through to advance levels. You can find out more by clicking here.
  •  
  • We hire and provide coaches with a legitimate basketball knowledge and background that are truly capable of teaching your kids fundamentals and improving their skill and knowledge level.
  • As these are paid roles, coaches are obligated to implement our program properly, ensuring your child’s development is maintained in a planned and structured way.
  •  
  • Our training is implemented through a tried and true coaching program that builds player’s skill and knowledge levels in a planned and progressive format.
  •  
  • We test player’s skills levels in different areas as they develop. We only test these skills when we are confident they will perform well so they gain confidence as we progress them to more challenging levels when they are ready for them.
  •  
  • We provide constant feedback to both players and parents on what we are doing through our training.
  •  
  • Players are given regular assessments so they know what stage of their basketball development they are at. Through these assessments players are also given tasks and goals to help them to keep progressing.
  •  
  • Something that is unique to the BMBA is our library of videos and documents specific to our training program. Players are given full access to our coaching video library which complements our on-court training. This library will continue to be expanded as time goes on.
  • For those that play in our squads, where possible, we video matches and upload them for players and coaches to review and for our head coaches to ensure that what we are teaching at training is being implemented in games by our coaches.
  •  
  • For those that participate in our after school training and also register for our holiday camps, we design and construct the camps to complement their after school training to ensure our participants obtain the maximum benefit and enjoyment out of their BMBA participation.
 
So as you can see our program is thorough, professional and structured. It’s put together in this way to ensure the progressive development of your son/daughter’s basketball game. In doing this, we will ensure your child obtains the maximum enjoyment out of the game.

We look forward to welcoming them into the program, where we can help them realise their potential.
