What Bayside parents are saying

★★★★★

"The best way to improve your child’s basketball skills is by one on one training. My son has been training with Cal and his jump in understanding, skills and creativity has been enormous. Well done Cal and keep up the great work!

— Jonothan, U14 Boys Parent Parent

★★★★★

"My son is new to basketball and has really enjoyed his first term at the Skills Academy. He cant wait to come back for Term 2"

— Kevin, U10 Boys Parent

★★★★★

"Cal and the team create a terrific environment for the kids to learn and improve. These sessions provide the opportunity to focus on skills, with expert guidance, which you often don't get time to work on in team training sessions. My daughter loves her sessions and is starting to incorporate what she has learnt into her games. "

— Ben, U14 Girls Rep Parent

Frequently asked questions
Club and school training focuses on the team. We focus entirely on the individual player — their specific weaknesses, their confidence, their game. That's why players who train with us consistently outperform their peers at rep trials. Small groups, expert coaches, and a structured plan that actually progresses week to week.
Most parents notice real changes in ball handling and confidence within 3–4 sessions. Our structured 8-week progression plan means every session builds on the last — so improvement compounds the longer they're with us. It's not random drills, it's a system that works.
Not at all. We welcome players at every level — from complete beginners to those chasing rep selection. We never put a child in a situation where they feel embarrassed or left behind. Small group sizes mean our coaches can always adjust the session to suit who's in the room.
That's exactly why we offer a free trial first — zero risk, zero pressure. Come in, give it a go, and see how your child responds. If it's not the right fit we'll tell you honestly rather than take your money. We're more interested in the right match than a quick sale.
Book a free trial and we'll take care of the rest. Cal will assess your child's current level in person and recommend the best program for their age, ability, and goals. There's no obligation and no pressure — just an honest conversation about what will help your child the most.
