Introducing UP Skills!
 
UP Skills is the complete reimagining of our E60 program, with a fresh approach to drills, coaching and affordability. The program was conceived through our philosophies of dedication, hard work, respect and resilience. 
 
“Through sharing the love of basketball, provide programs that enable basketball players to reach their potential as an athlete and a person.”

– Nigel Purchase: Chase Basketball Managing Director
 
UP Skills is run by real coaches with pro league experience. Our promise to athletes is expert advice, attention to detail, innovative drills via a more personal coaching style. Whether in small groups or individual sessions, athletes are given the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and positive environment.
 
Chase Basketball have hand-picked the best possible coaches in a program engineered for a complete on and off court up skilling of our athletes. They will have the opportunity to review video feedback with coaches to break down their mechanics and build upon them thoroughly.
 
We believe in providing an excellent but affordable service for the basketball community so that everyone has the opportunity to learn from our specialist coaches and contemporary teachings. UP Skills is available to athletes between seven and fifteen years and utilises a dedicated single court venue in Albert Park, five days a week.

Basketball is Booming!

With registration numbers at a record high in Domestic and Representative Leagues all around Melbourne and the NBL posting its highest ever round two attendance – basketball is booming!

“Victoria is the home of basketball – more people hit the court here each week than in any other state and [we] will help basketball keep growing in Victoria from the grassroots to elite level.”

          – Daniel Andrews

From over ten new courts in South East Melbourne alone, to 339,300 kids currently playing basketball in Australia, it makes sense that the Aussie Hoops program has seen an increase in participation by 13.6 percent. Inspiring this push are our national teams bringing home medals in bulk across all international competitions:

•          Bronze – Opals, 2022 FIBA World Cup

•          Bronze – Boomers, 2020 Tokyo Olympics

•          Gold – Gliders, 2022 IWBF AOZ Championships

•          Gold – Rollers, 2022 IWBF AOZ Championships

•          Gold – U17 Sapphires, 2022 FIBA U16 Asia Championship

•          Gold – U17 Crocs, 2022 FIBA U16 Asia Championship

The NBA has seen an influx of Aussies in recent years with three Australian draftees in 2021/22, including pick six, Melbourne’s Josh Giddey and pick eight, Bendigo’s Dyson Daniels. That makes eleven Aussie men playing in the NBA in 2021/22.  Add to that nine women currently playing in the WNBA and Australians are representing themselves in volume on the big stage.

At Chase Basketball, our mission has always been bigger than basketball. Our belief is that what we teach on-court sets athletes up with the tools to maximise their fitness, mental health, personal development and teamwork skills.

With the growth in the sport, we couldn’t be more excited to spread positivity on a larger than ever scale.

Basketball is booming – don’t miss out!
