BMBA Founder
Meet Bob Mann: BMBA Founder & Head Coach
Bob started coaching basketball in 1990 to get five boys out of his backyard, which they had begun using as their local scrimmage court.
Since then, Bob has coached at every level, from absolute beginners to paid professionals, and has achieved outstanding success at developing incredible individual players and building local teams that punch well above their weight.
Bob’s teams have gone on to reach the highest levels of the sport in the toughest States in Australia—the state of Victoria and its capital, the City of Melbourne, more particularly.
Bob is now committed to using his guidance, knowledge, and ability to develop player skills and the great teams that accompany them.
Make your son/daughter another prodigee for Bob to mentor to a high level.

Frequently asked questions
What is the programs focus?
Our basketball Plus program focuses entirely on building both your child's skills and knowledge. We do this by providing elite level coaching and training sessions your child would not experience elsewhere.
How do you acheive this?
The BMBA has a structured program that takes your child through several different levels for each skill.
The BMBA also provides a playbook library comprised of drill sheets, written materials and videos, so participants can fast track their achievement by working from home on top of completing their sessions with us.
There are no shortcuts and every player has to reach a certain level before progressing to the next one.
How many sessions a week?
The program provides one 90 minute session per week, which can be upgraded to two sessions a week if you upgrade to our more advanced IDP program. Sessions are available after school and on weekends at a number of venues.
Who can enrol?
The program caters for players who are already playing and at a certain level. We have a seperate beginners program for juniors to participate in who are just starting out but not ready for this program. If you are unsure we are more than happy to arrange a trial session for us to assess your child and make recommendations.
How are lessons structured?
Each session has a maximum of ten juniors per coach. Sessions run for 90 minutes and are a combination of skill development and take participants through a progressive plan to reach their maximum potential.
How is progress assessed?
Once participants have learned our progressive plans for each skill level and each stage of development, they are then tested weekly on that progress, sometimes twice a week. When ready we have developed a full test for players to pass so they can progress onto the next level of development.
This gives our sessions real purpose and builds confidence within our participants. When players pass they are provided with certificates and parents are given player reports every 6 months.
