Development Sessions

Head coach Rupert Sapwell will take players through many essential skills including, offensive moves, shooting technique, ball skills, balance, footwork and strength.

This is a sequential development program specifically designed for sustained commitment and results. By the end of these basketball coaching sessions, players will understand the importance of footwork, balance and strength, and how to use these to best advantage. They will also be equipped with simple, effective techniques to continually improve their skills and maximise their ability.

Additionally, Rupert will undertake workshops in goal setting, commitment and developing confidence which will help players reach their potential.

"Those players who show the commitment and dedication to work on their game outside their regular team practices will already posses an important ingredient for success. My job is to harness that motivation and channel it to relevant and durable skills that will increase the player's confidence, skill level and overall ability. Let's make it happen together!" (Rupert Sapwell)

Why core strength?

All your power comes from your knees to your rib cage. A stronger core will have a positive affect on balance, strength, explosiveness and confidence. There is no easy way to do this, so expect some blood, sweat and tears. Squats, lunges, medicine ball, quickstep ladder, lower back and ab exercises will be done every week. Players will feel pretty sore initially, but they’ll come to enjoy it! J

We will also be working on ball handling and finishing close to the basket. I don’t believing in cramming the session with multiple skills, I think it’s more benficial to get very good at a few things, rather than OK at many, because these refined skills will be game-ready.
