HOW IT WORKS
Why Strathmore Ballers.
Nina and Hemi started the club in 2016 on an outdoor concrete court with 6 kids. Today we have over 100 players.
We don't run weekly trainings. Most families are too busy to guarantee attendance, and team training only works if everyone shows up. So we focus on getting kids playing every week, with coaching on the day. If your child wants to improve their skills, that's what individual training is for. Whether that's MOVE or another provider.
Your child gets to play regardless of their current skill level. We look at their age and ability and put them in the right team. It doesn't matter whether they've never played before or have been playing for years.
Every player gets minutes. It's about learning the game, not sitting on the bench.
Strathmore Ballers is an affiliated club with Wellington Basketball. That means we actively advocate for our players when representative and development opportunities come up.
COACHING
MOVE Basketball coaches our teams
The same game-based approach as MOVE term programs. Real decisions, real situations, real improvement. Strathmore Ballers is open to any child who wants to play.
COMMUNITY
Parents help out
We ask parents to help with score bench and small club jobs. Our main fundraiser is serving the corporate boxes at Wellington Saints home games. You get to bring the family to watch pro basketball while we work. It's how we keep costs down for everyone.
