Chase Basketball School Academies have been in operation since 2008. Sessions are conducted at school gymnasiums prior to school.
Our policy is not to compromise the academic time that students spend at school and our programs compliment the Academic endeavours of the individual. Students are involved in three hours weekly with a heavy focus on skill and fitness development, game play, sportspersonship development and where possible, we align our coaching with the school’s motto.
Our Academies are conducted in alliance with the school and we follow guidelines of the Department of Education and the Sports Department at the school partner. The Chase Basketball School Academy programs cater to players of all skill levels, from beginners to elite. A positive sporting experience underpins every school academy training session.
In 2024, Chase Basketball has seven School Academy programs at Albert Park College, Elwood College, Prahran High School, Richmond High School, Sandringham College, Port Melbourne Secondary College (PORT) and Auburn High School.
If you are interested in getting involved in any of these academies, please contact Janet Gaze – academies@chasebasketball.com.au.

All training is conducted out of school hours (before or after school). The only school missed will be due to tournaments and competitions, which occurs only a couple of times a year. All tournaments are not compulsory.
Every athlete receives an academy uniform (singlet and shorts) with registration. They are expected to wear this to every training. If not, they are expected to wear their school sports uniform.
