A short message from Nigel Purchase |
"If you can play basketball, you can find friends and a game almost anywhere in the world. It truly is one of the greatest social sports ever invented."
- Nigel Purchase
The “Language of Basketball” has a remarkable ability to bring people together, break down barriers and transcend prejudice and bias.
Basketball is also one of the world’s greatest teachers. Across the globe, basketball coaches and players are generous in sharing their drills, ideas and coaching philosophies, helping the game continue to evolve.
One of our most popular coaches, George Delchristos, is of Australian-Greek heritage and his approach to basketball coaching aligns beautifully with the way we want our Chase players to be taught, challenged and mentored.

In September 2026, our Master Coaches will embark on a professional development visit to Slovenia and Italy, two European basketball powerhouses. The visit will provide an opportunity to experience their basketball cultures firsthand and importantly, see how they develop and coach young basketball players.
We look forward to bringing these experiences and learnings home to our Chase family, sharing the best ideas and practices we discover and continuing to ensure our basketball training programs reflect some of the world’s best approaches to player development.
Because basketball is more than a game. It is a language, a teacher, and a wonderful way to bring people together.
