    Most players do 2 sessions per week. Players on school or club teams often add 1-2 MOVE sessions for extra development.

    • Term 1 - Skills in Action
      Practice dribbling under defensive pressure, shooting off the catch and dribble, and recognising when to pass vs shoot.

    • Term 2 - Reading the Game
      Recognise defensive positioning, anticipate passes and cuts, and react to changing game situations.

    • Term 3 - Team Connection
      Build chemistry through pick-and-roll situations, help defense concepts, and spacing awareness.

    • Term 4 - Game Ready
      Work on stamina, maintaining composure under pressure, and executing skills in competitive scrimmages.

  • After 1-2 terms, players typically show:

    • Better court awareness (seeing open teammates, recognising defensive gaps)

    • Quicker decision-making under pressure

    • Improved defensive positioning and anticipation

    • More confidence in game situations

    • Better communication on court

    Players who train consistently for 3+ terms often become key contributors on their school or club teams.

  • Perfect if your child:

    • Is 11-14 years old

    • Knows basic basketball skills (dribbling, passing, shooting)

    • Wants to improve their game awareness

    • Plays or wants to play for a school or club team

    What's the difference from DISCOVER?

    EXPLORE moves faster and focuses on decision-making in game situations, not just fundamental skills. We assume players already know the basics and are ready for game-speed training.

    What if they're not on a team yet?

    That's fine. This program prepares them for team basketball and helps them understand game situations they'll face.

    Can beginners join?

    • Water bottle
