Elite Holiday Shooting Program

If your athlete wants to become a better shooter — not just take more shots — this is the program.

This isn’t random shooting reps. This is a small-group, age-specific shooting development program built from 15 years of rep coaching experience and seeing exactly where players fall behind and what players need to do at each level to ensure they are maximising their basketball time.

Why We Are Running This

After coaching rep for over 15 years, one thing is obvious:

Most players are not held back by effort.
They’re held back by inconsistent or incorrect shooting foundations.

Some were never taught properly.
Some were rushed into shooting threes too early.
Some have grown and never adjusted their mechanics.

And by U16s, it’s very hard to fix. Team training doesn't allow for it. Most coaches aren't sure of the exact steps to take or the real reason why they miss... they just say "you need to practice more".

This program is about building (or correcting) shooting the right way — at the right stage.

What Makes This Different

Every age group works on what they actually need right now.

Not generic drills.

Not “just get shots up.”

But specific progressions based on:

• Age
• Strength
• Growth stage
• Skill level
• What I consistently see in rep athletes

Each group is capped at 6 athletes so everyone gets real feedback, not just rebounds.

All Athletes that attend this program and register for the 4 days will receive access to 2 shooting bay sessions (30 minutes each) per week for the entirety of term 2 with the goal of this helping them get up the necessary REPS to solidify their shooting over the term. Shooting on a machine 2 times per week for a term can mean they are shooting 5000 more shots in a term compared to their teammates and competition. An amount that over time will make a HUGE Difference. The value add here is $550.00

What We Focus On (By Age)

U12s (8am & 9:30am)

At this stage, it’s about mastering the fundamentals:

• Elbow under and aligned
• Hand placement
• Strong base and balance
• Jump stop on the catch
• Consistent follow through (high hold + clean flick)
• Rhythm off the dribble

If this stage isn’t right, everything later becomes harder.

---

U14s (11:30am)

Now we start progressing:

• More fluid, one-motion shooting
• Adjusting mechanics as bodies grow
• Developing rhythm and repeatability
• Building range correctly
• Introducing three-point progression safely

This is where many players either separate… or develop bad habits.

---

U14/U16 Advanced (1pm)

For athletes ready to level up:

• Advanced footwork into shots
• Shooting off movement
• Game-speed decision shooting
• Rhythm under pressure
• Developing a reliable 3-point shot

At this stage, shooting needs to translate to games — not just drills.

Why Spots Will Go Quickly

Each group is capped at 6 athletes.

That’s it.

Once those spots are filled, registrations close.

I keep the numbers small because shooting requires detail, correction and individual feedback — and that’s not possible in large groups.

---

If your child:

• Lacks confidence shooting
• Struggles with consistency
• Wants to extend their range
• Or is serious about improving before next season

This is the program to join.

Spots are limited and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

If you want real shooting development — not just reps — secure a place early.
