From 6-17 years old - Basketball Skills Training - Inner City Tigers

What We Do: Real Skills, Real Fun

Our skills training sessions are designed specifically for kids aged 6-16 who want to learn the game in a supportive, high-energy environment. Whether your child is picking up a basketball for the first time or looking to sharpen their fundamentals before joining a team, we’ve got them covered. The sessions operate on a per term basis.

🏀 Focus on Fundamentals

We break down the core mechanics of basketball. Your child will learn proper form for dribbling, shooting, passing, and defense, giving them a solid foundation.

🎮 Gamified Learning

Drills don't have to be boring! We gamify the experience, turning skill-building into fun challenges. Kids learn faster when they're having fun (and are guaranteed to sweat!).

🙌 Small Group Attention

We keep our groups small (under 12 participants per coach). This ensures every child gets the individual feedback and attention they need to improve week over week.

🔰 100% Beginner Friendly

No prior basketball knowledge? No problem! Our supportive environment is entirely judgment-free, making it the perfect starting point for complete beginners.

Choose the environment that best suits your child's needs and schedule. Both options feature our signature gamified training, small group sizes, and focus on fundamental skills, with a skills session each week during the school term.

Elite Pedigree: Jason played representative basketball for the Melbourne Tigers and was developed by elite mentors, including former NBA Head Coach Brett Brown.

Coaching Philosophy: Repetition is the secret to mastery. We use high-rep, purposeful drills to build muscle memory, but we keep the energy high by gamifying the experience. Most importantly, we always teach the 'why'—so players understand exactly how a skill translates to a real game.
