Basketball Program
Our Program
The Elite Year 7-12 JSR Basketball Program develops male and female student athletes through high-level skill training, speed, agility and game tactics. With representative pathways and competitive tournament opportunities, players are challenged to pursue excellence and realise their basketball ambitions.
Program Structure
Students have the unique opportunity to combine dedication to academic learning with specialised basketball training sessions within their standard timetable and are expected to commit to the values and expectations of the Basketball Program.
Student athletes in Years 9-12 will receive 2-4 hours per week of specialist basketball skill sessions, along with expert training with our Strength & Conditioning Coach Christian Salinas. These sessions focus on advanced skill development, tactical decision‑making, speed and agility, core stability and performance testing, while supporting individual development plans, leadership growth, coaching principles, nutrition, recovery, and injury prevention.
As a JSR student‑athlete, you’re expected to commit fully to the program by attending every session and training with purpose, maintaining academic standards that reflect your ability, and representing JSR with pride both on and off the court.
Tournaments and Off-Court Opportunities
Students in the program will have the opportunity to play in NEAS and ACC competitions as well as attend the BWA 3x3 State Tournament, Elite Schools Basketball Invitational and the Year 7 Super Series. JSR Basketball also tours to the Australian School National Championships each year, to compete in this National Tournament run by Basketball Australia.
Throughout the year, students will also have the opportunity to hear from keynote guest speakers, including Ash McCormick from Aussie Prospects. In addition, students will attend guest coaching sessions from past students who have achieved success in the USA, Wildcats players and NBL1 Coaches and current players.
