The Skills Factory is a 7-week skills accelerator programme designed to help U16 and U19 players bridge the gap between understanding the game and executing under pressure. Delivered by Adam Morgan and experienced coaches, sessions provide high-repetition skill development aligned to Canterbury Basketball’s Style of Play in a focused, small-group training environment at Parakiore Recreation and Sport Centre.
The Skills Factory is a targeted skills accelerator programme designed to bridge the gap between concept understanding and skill execution within the Canterbury Basketball pathway. While CBA has a strong foundation in teaching what to do through our Style of Play, this programme focuses on developing the how – the technical skills required to execute those concepts consistently and under pressure.
Players can choose to attend Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, or any combination of sessions, allowing for flexible development opportunities throughout the week. The programme provides a high-repetition, high-support environment aligned directly to CBA’s Style of Play and Style of Coaching.
The Skills Factory is a 7-week morning programme delivered throughout Term 4.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to Labour Day, there is NO session Monday 26th October. The first session will be Monday 2nd November; the programme will still be seven weeks and will conclude on Monday 14th December.
Sessions designed and led by Adam Morgan, supported by experienced coaches. Places are limited to maintain the quality of delivery.
