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.

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.
