BK Basketball Academy
BK Basketball Academy is a full-time basketball academy that allows students to study, train, and play. Academy athletes complete a diploma of sport, train on court, do strength and conditioning, and play high level games. Our mission is to develop well rounded basketball players and human beings, whilst providing athletes with an education and a career after basketball.
Our full time program runs over 12 months and is suitable for females and males aged 16-30 years of age. The diploma is delivered by qualified educators from Fit Education. The Academy is coached by a team of professional and experienced coaches led by 2-time Olympian, 4-time NBL Champion, and NBL Hall of Fame Coach Brian Kerle.
