Basketball Academy

This program allows young student-athletes to enhance and develop their sporting talent while concurrently receiving their secondary education at Cranbourne Secondary College.

Program details: 

The program aims to improve the performance of every student basketball athlete and is available to all male and female basketball players who wish to further develop their individual game. The College has developed a strong partnership with Casey Basketball and Infinite Fitness Peninsula, and they will work closely with the students.

The focus each week is on fundamental skill acquisition and students progress through our unique format to integrate these skills into game knowledge incorporating strategic and tactical training. Weekly match practice provides the opportunity to further hone skills. 

 On Court Training:

• Skill acquisition including ball handling, shooting technique and consistency, finishing at the basket and one-on-one moves. 
• Positional specific skills and fitness training 
• Tactical and strategic training aimed at developing a player’s understanding of team offensive and defensive concepts. 

Strength and Conditioning: 

Each student will be provided with an individualised strength and conditioning program that focuses on developing a player’s fitness, strength, power, speed, and agility, specifically for the sport of basketball.
