Most holiday camps are just babysitting with a basketball.
Inner Game is different. A professional coach, structured sessions and a real opportunity for your child to grow on and off the court.
We don't just teach basketball. We build better humans.

What parents are saying
- Hagar, parent of Aya (age 12)
"James has been a wonderful basketball coach for my son and his team over the past few years. We have found James to be super encouraging and motivating and it's really helped develop my son's confidence. He has a great balance of teaching discipline whilst also keeping the game fun and engaging."
"James has been coaching my 12 year old daughter for two terms and has already made a real difference to her confidence and skills. He is genuinely invested in her development and takes the time to support her growth on the court. That care shows clearly in the way she plays now, with more confidence, consistency and belief in herself."
"My son has been taught by James over the last five years in a variety of different settings, ranging from private lessons, to group skills coaching and team training. A through-line in James' coaching is self-sufficiency: getting the student to think through their basketball challenges and guiding them to a solution. This methodology has helped my son be a more rounded basketball player (and a more thoughtful kid). I thoroughly recommend James."
"Coach James has not only helped my daughters improve their basketball skills, but also instilled confidence, discipline and a strong sense of teamwork. His coaching style is encouraging and highly motivating, creating an environment where students feel supported while still being challenged to grow. With his help, Kelly has improved significantly in her team performance this term and Ruby has become a crucial part of her team."
"James is an excellent coach. He is wonderful with kids and knows how to teach them and motivate them. Our son thrived under his guidance and really developed as a player. James is knowledgeable, experienced and kind. He is our son's favourite coach. I would recommend him to any parents or teams looking to further develop in basketball."
"My boys in year 5 and year 7 have been training with Coach James in both private and team basketball training for several months now. Coach James is very capable of structuring the training sessions tailored to the boys' developmental needs. Timely feedback during the game, training or encouragement afterwards are always there. While being passionate to the game with good energy, he is composed and always presented himself in a calm manner. In short, Coach James is fantastic and will help aspiring basketball players to approach the game in the right way."
"Coach James didn't just teach me how to play better. He taught me how to believe in myself. His priority was always developing good form and technique, and once you mastered one skill, he'd make it more challenging so you were continually improving. I grew into a more confident player who wasn't afraid to step outside my comfort zone."

A typical camp day
9:00am - Welcome, Icebreakers & Skill Development
Fun games to break the ice, then straight into ball handling, footwork and coordination. Structured but never boring.
10:30am - Recess
Snack break and a chance to hang with the other kids.
11:00am - Skill Development & Small Sided Games
Small sided games where kids read, react and make decisions in real game situations. They're learning without realising it.
12:30pm - Lunch
Refuel and recharge for the afternoon.
1:30pm - Games & Tournaments
The best part of the day. Everything from the morning clicks into place in modified games and tournaments. Pure fun with skills baked in.
2:45pm - Camp Close
Shout-outs, awards and high-fives. Every kid leaves buzzing. Pick up from 2:45pm, finished by 3:00pm.
Why camp is worth it
They're off the screens and active.
Camp gives them 6 hours of movement, connection and fun. Strict no device policy, only for emergencies.
It's fun.
Not "eat your vegetables" fun. Real fun. The kind where they come home buzzing and can't stop talking about their day.
They'll learn something new.
Multiple days in a row means skills get drilled, reinforced and locked in. They'll come home a more confident player than when they left.
Your holidays are sorted.
Drop them off knowing they're active, supervised and having the time of their life. 9am to 3pm, fully indoors. No weather cancellations.

What happens after camp
When your kid keeps begging you to play more basketball after camp, we've got you covered. Weekend skills classes are available for those keen to keep going.
Frequently asked questions
A basketball (if they have one — we have spares), a water bottle, morning tea, lunch, and comfortable sports clothes and shoes. We recommend indoor basketball shoes or clean non-marking sneakers. Sunscreen and a hat for any outdoor breaks.
Drop-off is from 8:45am with the program starting at 9:00am. Pick-up is at 3:00pm sharp, with coaches available from 2:45pm. Please be on time for both — we need to account for every child.
Not at all. Our camps cater for complete beginners through to experienced players. Kids are grouped by age and ability so everyone is challenged at the right level.
