Our Junior Coaching Centres 

At Somerset State Basketball, our coaching is built around a clear, structured curriculum designed to ensure players learn the game properly, step by step. Rather than jumping between random skills week to week, our sessions follow a planned pattern across the season — shooting, dribbling, passing, defending, and key game concepts — each broken down into age-appropriate subtopics. Every session focuses on one main topic, allowing players the time and repetition needed to understand, practise, and apply that skill with confidence.

 

This proactive approach means we plan learning in advance, rather than reacting on the spot to what we notice in sessions. The result is a consistent learning journey where no part of the game is missed, and players steadily build their knowledge and ability throughout the season. Research and experience show that structured curriculums help young players stay more engaged, learn skills faster, and feel a stronger sense of progress — which boosts confidence and enjoyment. By knowing what they’re working on and why, players stay motivated, parents see clear development, and every child benefits from a well-rounded basketball education in a fun, supportive environment.
