They'll Come Home Buzzing. Every. Single. Day.
Inner Game July Holiday Camp | July 6-9, 2026 | NCIE, Redfern | 9am-3pm daily
"Super encouraging and motivating, it's really helped develop my son's confidence." - Kobie, parent
Bookings Closed
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
Meet Coach James
The coach your child will spend every day of camp with. Have a quick look at who they'll be learning from.
James has spent 6 years coaching basketball to hundreds of kids across Sydney. At camp, every child gets real coaching attention, not crowd control.
What your child gets at Inner Game Camp
- Professional coaching by James and the friendly Inner Game staff.
- Every child is cared for. We provide attention to all the kids of all levels and abilities so no one gets lost in the crowd.
- Age-appropriate development games so your kid has a blast and builds their basketball skills.
- A supportive environment where effort and making mistakes are celebrated.
- New friends who love basketball as much as they do.
- Rain-proof holidays. No weather cancellations, ever.
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.
Bookings Closed
This camp is no longer taking bookings.
Thanks so much for your interest. Bookings for the July camp are now closed. We run camps every school holidays so keep an eye out for the next one, or jump into our weekend skills classes in the meantime.
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.
Please pack morning tea and lunch for your child. We have scheduled breaks for eating. Make sure food is labelled with your child's name. We are a nut-aware environment — please avoid sending peanut or tree nut products.
Our camps are held indoors, so rain doesn't affect us. Camp runs in all weather conditions.
Please let us know at checkout — there's a field to disclose any medical conditions, allergies, or medications. Our coaches are first aid trained and will work with you to ensure your child is safe and comfortable.
Absolutely. You can pick and choose the days that suit you. The more days you book, the better the daily rate — and booking all 4 days means the 4th day is free.
Camp is for kids aged 5-14. We group by age and ability throughout the day so younger kids aren't overwhelmed and older kids stay challenged.
Yes — your child is supervised from the moment they're signed in at drop-off until they're collected at pick-up. All our coaches hold valid Working With Children Checks and are first aid certified.
We guarantee they'll have a blast. That's the Inner Game Promise: if your child attends camp and you're genuinely not satisfied with the experience, we'll make it right — whether that's a full refund or credit toward a future program. Just email us within 7 days of camp ending.
Yes. Bookings can be transferred to another child at no charge, subject to availability. Just email us at hello@innergamebasketball.com at least 48 hours before camp.
All bookings are non-refundable. If you can no longer attend, you can transfer your booking to another child (free, 48 hours notice) or email us at hello@innergamebasketball.com and we'll do our best to help. Cancellations due to illness or injury supported by a medical certificate will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
