Improve your handles
Expert dribbling skills allow players to get to places on the floor that others cannot. Ball handling and creating for others in a basketball game is a journey that starts at a young age. Improving your fundamental core skills is a daily process. At HCA we drill progressions in a fun competitive environment and give you the tools to dribble like an expert.
Shoot from range
Shooting the basketball is about technique, repetition and mental awareness. At HCA we develop all three and put the building blocks in place to make you a better shooter, in a variety of game-like drills and situations.
Get basketball fit
Fundamental to becoming a complete basketball player is a solid kinesthetic sense. The improvement of footwork and speed, through our specific basketball agility drills, you will make quick gains that will see a positive transfer into your games.
Improve your basketball IQ
Basketball is a thinking person’s game. At HCA, in all our sessions we put every player in situations so that coaches can intervene, to assist with making reads and enhanced decision making appropriate to your level.
Become a stopper
Individual and team defence is too often neglected by coaches. Not at HCA – the desire to play defence and attack without the ball through our expert coaching, will show you the benefits of how to level up your game. Effort combined with technique is the ultimate equaliser.
Mindset / Fill the mind
Life through sport can have ups and downs. We will prepare you for a transition through multiple pathways and show you techniques to shape positive thinking. We will highlight the necessary support networks around you and set a balanced, healthy existence.
