Welcome!

Shoot'n Hoops® is an Australian basketball consultancy company committed to the attainment of sporting excellence.

Mission Statement:

Our goal is to contribute positively to the continued growth and development of the game of basketball both in Australia and world wide through the practical application of sports science and technology in basketball coaching and a commitment to ongoing coach education and training.

Basketball coaches at every level are always searching for ways to improve the shooting (and scoring) ability of their players; and players everywhere are constantly looking for ways to take their "individual game" to the next level.

At Shoot'n Hoops we leave the X's & O's up to the coach; our key focus lies in providing coaches and players from beginner level to elite-professional level with specialist coaching services, training equipment and resources specifically aimed at improving "individual" skills (particularly shooting) plus assisting players to maximise their full athletic potential and increase their overall level of basketball performance.

Unconstrained by conventional methods; Shoot'n Hoops provides a "unique" and "innovative" range of specialist coaching services and products; and it is this "outside the square" thinking which has lead to these acclaimed innovations by Shoot'n Hoops (below):
