UP Skills

Chase UP Skills program is a progressive skills training format that challenges the individual player with innovative drills and personal coaching in small groups sessions after school and on Saturdays.

UP Skills Overview

Sessions are conducted by experienced coaching staff who care about the players they coach and take pride in player development. 

Highlights of an UP Skills session include ball handling, footwork, finishing at the basket, building strength and fitness, and gameplay.

The UP Skills program is divided into four levels. This format allows athletes to have access to a progression pathway and caters to a range of ages and skill levels.

Testimonials

Hear what some of our happy ‘Chasers’ have to say!

We have nothing but fantastic things to say about Chase Basketball. My 6 yo has been participating with them for about a year now and absolutely loves it. Nigel is the owner and cares deeply about the programs they run and each and every student that attends.

The whole team of coaches at Chase are just great (Fraser and George are our faves!) and put their heart and soul in to coaching.

Van SMother of UP Skills Participant
I love that the groups are small and the coaches really connect with the kids and invest in their success.

Chase has really helped my kids improve their basketball skills but what I really value is the confidence and good sportsmanship they have developed through the encouraging and supportive atmosphere at the Chase camps and training.

I can’t recommend Chase enough!

Sam AMother of UP Skills & Camp Participants
The sessions have been really good for my son, it's been so good for him to have a different coach and hear new feedback. His confidence is sky high right now leading into tryouts so I can't thank you enough
Scott FFather of UP Skills Participant
The best days are Chase Basketball days – even when I have to run up and down the court for drills – I still have the best fun!
Jeevan SUP Skills Participant
Coaches challenged and mentored my son while pushing him to be better. All done in a positive manner. It was the highlight of my day to watch this session.
Paul GFather of an UP Skills Participant
Chase coaches constantly work on the fundamentals and good form, then level them up through the upskills program. This progression has had a massive impact on my son's game.

Apart from skill development, Chase coaches teach their athletes to be good team members, humble, resilient, accountable and to enjoy the game. They have a knack of delivering the right amount of push and positivity. As a parent I really like that!

Michaela HMother of UP Skills Participant
The Up Skills program has transformed my son and his enjoyment of basketball. His basketball skills have improved tenfold, the focus on fitness has helped his endurance during games, but most importantly it has boosted his confidence on and off the court.
