Adelaide’s ultimate basketball camp experience
From skill drills to fitness tests, our basketball camps in Adelaide are a chance for kids to play, grow, and connect through sport. Whatever their experience level, they’ll get up close and personal with one of Australia’s favourite sports, and may find friends for life.
We focus on both personal and athletic development. So, while kids are improving their jump shot and court awareness, they’re also building confidence, teamwork skills, and a resilient mindset. Plus, their basketball heroes often drop in to run sessions and inspire the next generation.

Who can attend the Adelaide basketball camps?
Our camps are open to boys and girls aged 5-14, whether they’re new to basketball or seasoned young players. Our coaching time makes sure every child feels supported, challenged, and celebrated.
What kind of basketball activities will my child do?
Each day is filled with skills training, team play, and heaps of fun. Players work through high-energy drills and mini-games to refine their skills in dribbling, passing, shooting, and defensive positioning.
There are also video analysis sessions, where kids review their performance and celebrate their progress.
How are children grouped during basketball camp?
To give every child the best chance to progress, we group players by age and ability. Each group includes around 10 players (capped at 14), giving coaches time to offer personalised attention.
Also, if your child would like to be grouped with a friend or sibling, just let us know when you book.
What should my child bring to camp each day?
Please pack a nut-free lunch in a clearly labelled container, along with a refillable water bottle. Players should wear comfortable sportswear and runners – and while we provide all the necessary gear, they’re welcome to bring their own basketball if they like.
Please also pack a hat and sunscreen for outside breaks on warm days.
How will a basketball camp help my child grow?
Our Adelaide basketball camps offer more than just skills training – they’re a powerful environment for personal growth. While children sharpen their abilities in dribbling, shooting, passing, and game strategy, they’re also building strength, agility, and coordination in a setting that feels like play, not pressure. The energy is high, the challenges are fun, and every child is encouraged to give their best.
Just as important as the physical side is the personal development that takes place. Kids build resilience, self-belief, and teamwork through shared victories and setbacks. They form friendships, support their peers, and experience what it means to be part of a team. These moments help children grow into more confident, motivated, and socially aware individuals – lessons that stick with them well beyond the court.
