Kia ora,
I’m Troy McLean.

I'm a former Tall Black, four time NBL champion, and proud dad. I've coached at every level of the game in New Zealand.

Now I train kids. Getting a nervous 9 year old to back themselves is more satisfying than anything I did as a pro player.

What matters most.

I coach the way I want someone to coach my own kids. With care and understanding. I know when to push and when to hold back.

I’ve played over 300 NBL games, won four championships with the Wellington Saints, and represented New Zealand as a Tall Black. I’ve coached at every level of the game in this country. But none of that matters if I can’t teach your child the basics.

Nothing we do is random, and I make sure every player is seen. Come and check it out.
