Academy Specialists

The Chase Basketball School Academy program caters to student-athletes of all skill levels, from beginners to elite. A positive sporting experience underpins every School Academy training session. Our Academies are conducted in partnership with schools, while the Chase Team manages all aspects of planning, communication and administration of the program.

Students-athletes are involved in three hours weekly of on-court training, with a focus on basketball skills, fitness, gameplay, teamwork and development. Chase Coaches align coaching with the school’s values. Our policy is not to compromise but compliment the in-class learning, with our programs fostering the academic endeavours of the student-athlete.

Frequently asked questions

Chase Basketball partners with secondary schools across Victoria to deliver high-quality, school-based Basketball Academy programs. Chase programs are fully integrated into the school’s culture and schedule, supporting academic excellence while enriching student-athlete life through structured sport.

The program is timetabled to avoid disruption to academic commitments, with sessions running before school. We work with schools to foster student growth both on and off the court. Sessions are scheduled across 32 weeks annually, with student-athletes receiving three hours of on-court training per week (two 90-minute sessions).

Sessions are carefully designed by Chase’s qualified coaching staff to support each student-athlete’s age and ability level. While the core development framework is consistent across campuses, session plans are adapted to best serve the student-athletes at each school. The focus is on building skills progressively, enhancing game understanding and fostering confidence.

Chase Basketball Academy sessions are held before school, at the school gym. Our sessions usually run 7.00am - 8.30am, twice a week. We work closely with schools to ensure there is no disruption to the academic priorities of student-athletes.
