Hustle Hoops Coaching

A friend of mine sent me a pic of this ring he came across today while working in Preston.

I love seeing basketball rings like this.

Somewhere some kid is practicing.

Drills in this alleyway will give you the same result than on a fancy court somewhere.

Actually they give you more. I can guarantee the kid using this ring, is out there by himself, with nothing but his imagination, and a dream…

Keep hustlin! 🏀🏀🏀😍😍😍

🏀 Hey Hustlers,

We have been super busy processing what is shaping up to be our largest number of clinic registrations to date!

With this set to be our biggest and best clinic yet, we're excited to announce another assistant coach who will be joining our coaching team. We believe he will be a fantastic asset to our upcoming clinics.

Please join us in welcoming Coach Isaya to the Hustle Hoops team. Coach Isaya brings a wealth of coaching experience, having worked with several basketball academies and clinics, and is currently an Under 18 Rep coach at Kilsyth.

Our goal is always to provide athletes with the highest quality coaching experience and ensure they get the most out of every session. We are confident Coach Isaya's knowledge, energy, and passion for player development will be a great addition to our program.

Not long to go!

We have been inundated with registrations and enquiries for our upcoming Hustle Hoops Holiday Clinics, and we are excited by the calibre of athletes who have expressed interest. With only a handful of positions remaining, now is the time to register your interest if you would like to be considered.

One thing that makes Hustle Hoops clinics different is that we don’t simply accept registrations on a first-in basis. We take the time to carefully assess each athlete and build groups of players with similar skill levels, work ethic, and competitive drive.

Our goal is to create an environment where every athlete is challenged, pushed outside their comfort zone, and surrounded by players who will elevate the standard of the session. We believe this provides a far greater development opportunity than placing athletes of vastly different abilities together on the same court.

For those who have already registered their interest, thank you for your patience. We are currently finalising groups and ensuring we create the most competitive training environments possible. We will be in contact with you shortly regarding your registration status.

We can’t wait to get started!

Two sessions back to back tonight. U12’s and U14’s. Can you pick which group is which? 😂

One minute they’re learning how to tie their shoes… next minute they’re taller than the
coach and nearly dunking on everyone. If only their jump shots grew that fast 😜

Awesome night tonight with both groups bringing great energy, effort and attitudes.

I never want to accept that I’m getting older…and I’m not mind you 😉 💪💪🏀🏀

But tonight at training,I was proved otherwise 😅

I was working with one of the boys on his shooting arc and release. Trying to explain that you need to get the ball up high instead of shooting it flat.

Growing up, all my coaches used the same analogy:

“Imagine you’re standing inside a phone booth and you have to shoot the ball out through the top.”

Simple. Effective. Every kid understood it.

So I confidently used the exact same teaching point tonight…

Only to be met with a completely blank stare.

This poor kid looked at me like I’d just told him to send a fax or rewind a VHS tape 😭😂

He goes:
“…what’s a phone booth?”

At this point his dad had to Google a photo, which somehow made things worse because the image that came up was one of those old red English phone boxes.

Needless to say, the basketball lesson quickly turned into a history lesson.

So apparently I’m now officially old enough that my coaching analogies require Google searches.

I clearly need a modern version for today’s kids…

What’s the 2026 equivalent of a phone booth analogy? 😂👇🏀
