What Makes MOVE Different

  • Small Groups

    Maximum of 16 athletes per session. Everyone gets coaching attention and court time.

  • Game-Ready Skills

    We skip drills that look good but don't translate. Everything we teach shows up in actual games.

  • Step-by-Step Progress

    Each 8-week term builds on the last. Players who return for multiple terms get noticeably better.

  • Before-School Sessions

    Train at Ākau Tangi Sports Centre in Wellington. Get it done before the day starts.
