Training & Team Selections
At Hurricanes, we pride ourselves in providing the best opportunity for skill development, skill enhancement and for those interested in pursuing basketball further as a career option, exposure to international basketball. (Currently, our weekly training is included in club fees ***not including u8.)
Our program takes training seriously and as such has several avenues for you to develop and sharpen your skills. We implemented and embrace a LEARN > DEVELOP > PERFORM approach / methodology in delivering our Hurricanes program.
ELITES program is an invite only and is designed for skill enhancement. In this program we introduce concepts and training that are delivered at state or international level. It is a high intense program that is only for those that are committed and willing.
TEAM training is guaranteed for each team u10 and up and is solely focused on delivering team concepts and strategies as well as developing team chemistry in preparation for competition. Team trainings are:
● Scheduled anytime from 6pm through to 9pm and generally runs for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
● Each team is guaranteed training with their team each week unless there’s a benefit to consolidate trainings at the club/coach’s discretion.
● Trainings are held Mondays through Thursdays in preparation for the competition.
● Training times are allocated closer to or when the season starts as there needs to be consideration of coaches and logistics of the players. Younger age groups are allocated earlier training slots and may train on Saturdays depending on venue availability.
School holiday training programs are offered for all skill levels and development. Details are advised prior to each session. Training sessions are run by Hurricanes coaches and NBL1 special guests. Additional charges may apply.
TRAINING LOCATIONS
Currently with the demand for our Hurricanes program, we are located at training facility:
▶ Sunnybank Hills State School – Symons Road, Sunnybank Hills
We allocate the locations of the training to cater mostly for the younger age group being in Sunnybank Hills State School. In some cases, we also work with the coaches to consider their requirement and commitment where they coach multiple teams. Due to circumstances beyond our control and dependent on the number of teams in the club, locations may change.
Locations of trainings are also announced and finalised closer to the start of each season.
