A Returning Player will normally need to complete 6 Casual Training Sessions within 2 weeks before membership re-entry is considered.

New Players must complete a trial before membership may be offered. Completing a trial does not guarantee membership. Full Membership Terms and Conditions apply.

Which Basketball Training Option Should You Choose?

You do not need to decide perfectly from the beginning. We check the player’s current situation and decide a realistic way to continue.

Beginners / Younger Players

A trial or private session is recommended first to check basic movement, listening attitude and ball handling.

Players Who Want to Improve

Membership is the best option to secure training frequency. The goal is to attend 3 or more sessions per week.

Families Needing Transport

We confirm venue, day, time and area before deciding. Transport is not always available, so please enquire early.
