Chase Basketball School Academies have been in operation since 2008. Sessions are conducted before school at the gymnasium.
The Chase Basketball School Academy program caters to student-athletes of all skill levels, from beginners to elite. A positive sporting experience underpins every School Academy training session. Our Academies are conducted in partnership with schools, while the Chase Team manages all aspects of planning, communication and administration of the program.
Students-athletes are involved in three hours weekly of on-court training, with a focus on basketball skills, fitness, gameplay and sportspersonship development. Chase Coaches align coaching with the school’s values. Our policy is not to compromise but compliment the in-class learning, with our programs fostering the academic endeavours of the student-athlete.
In 2025, Chase Basketball has eight School Academy programs at Albert Park College, Auburn High School, Brighton Secondary College, Elwood College, Port Melbourne Secondary College (PORT), Prahran High School, Richmond High School and Sandringham College.
If you are interested in getting involved in any of these academies or you are looking to have an Academy at your school, please contact the Chase Academy Team – academies@chasebasketball.com.au.
