Steve (Parent)
Our son has been training with Coach Mike for the past 12 months or so, and the improvement we’ve seen in his game has been fantastic. His basketball skills have developed significantly, but more importantly, we’ve noticed a big improvement in his confidence on the court.
He started the year playing U16 Division 4 and, just eight months later, is now playing U16 Division 2.
Coach Mike has a great way of being encouraging while, at the same time, making the training sessions tough and challenging. It’s been great to watch our son’s confidence grow and see him become a much more capable and confident player. I would highly recommend coach Mike to any young basketball player looking to improve their skills and confidence.

Rachel (Parent)
“We’ve been training with Coach Mike for the past 3 to 4 years and have seen such a positive impact on our son’s basketball development. During that time, he has progressed to representative basketball and has continued to grow in both skill and confidence.
Our son says Mike has taught him many useful moves and skills that he now applies in games, while also helping him develop a strong work ethic and giving him great guidance along the way.
As parents, we really value the individualised coaching Mike provides. His sessions are tailored specifically to our son and what he needs to work on, which is very different from the more general coaching you often get in a team environment. He not only develops technical skills but also builds basketball IQ and helps players understand the game at a deeper level.
Mike is kind, approachable and very easy to communicate with. We feel very fortunate to have found him and would highly recommend him to any young player wanting to improve their game.”

Yalini (Devils Team Manager - Div 1)
"Since our team started training with Coach Mike, we have moved from Division 3 to Division 1 and are vying for a spot in the finals. Mike is passionate about the game and that shows in his training session which are tailored specifically to each client. It is hard to find a coach who is as passionate about his players and how they play – he’s intent on helping you improve your game and if you’re willing to listen and do the work, you are guaranteed to improve tenfold."

Ono (Parent)
“Nathan has been training with Coach Mike for over a year now. We have experienced many different coaches and trainers, I can honestly say that our best experience comes with Coach Mike. Mike is professional basketball coach and motivates the kids to work hard, he gives the kids confidence and keeps them engaged during practice. Mike has developed Nathan’s skill level tremendously, helped Nathan take his game to the next level, Nathan was in the D team at school before he started training with Coash Mike and he is in the A team now. I will recommend anyone that wants a great coach to try out with Coach Mike.”

Carla (Parent)
“Kid was on fire yesterday- 21 points in second half - even hit a 3. One of those days everything goes in! Opposition all year 6 and a foot taller. But cos he’s quick he could outrun them. Head school coach came over and said “what impressed me the most wasn’t his goals but his passing and movement - he could have taken every shot himself but when he saw an open option would feed it to his teammates”. Then apparently a different coach approached him for his name during PE today as he impressed him with a couple of moves you taught him. Thank you Mike - you are the best coach.”

Heidi (Parent)
"My 13 year old son has been training with Coach Mike both 1:1 or in small group sessions for over 2 years. Within in this time my son has grown more confident and proficient in all areas of the game. Mich has kept him interested and challenged with drills that have improved his shooting, dribbling and defence form. Coach Mich has helped him reach individual goals and set new ones. That with training and perseverance comes reward."

Rebecca (Parent)
"I am extremely grateful for Coach Mike, who has been an incredible influence on both of my children’s basketball journeys. His exceptional coaching skills, patience, passion, and ability to connect with young players have made a profound impact on my children. Coach Mike not only teaches the game but also imparts valuable life lessons about teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. My children eagerly attend every practise, and their growth on and off the court is a testament to Coach Mike’s dedication and teaching skills. I couldn’t be happier with Coach Mike, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to any parent seeking a dedicated and inspiring basketball coach for their kids."
