🔥 COACH EDUCATION SESSIONS 🔥

FTA works with Crusaders Basketball assisting in the Player and Coach Development space.

This season, the Coach Development has increased and sessions with the coaches will become a monthly occurrence.

Tonight had the coaches spend time together talking through a pre-game chat with their key areas and get feedback from each other and FTA facilitating and mentoring how to best construct these topic, use TO’s to emphasise the pre-game key areas and touched on the Crusaders coaching philosophies again (development and fun at the forefront of it all, wins will take care of itself later).

Thanks for having FTA as part of the Crusaders Club!

🚨 THE DUB CUP - Official Announcement 🚨

Unfortunately we have made the difficult decision to postpone the 1st Dub Cup.

The vision of making this event not just an on court International experience but also a cultural one was at the forefront of this decision.

While we gained alot of interest, the timeframe was too short for alot of our international friends and so this will allow them time to organise their groups, ensure they can bring more than one team and you can get plenty of opportunities to meet, understand and enjoy the experience with lots of countries involved.

(We had gained 3x countries but only 2 teams and 1 individual player). We want to have every age group having a team from overseas!

If you want to stay in the loop for 2027 event. Please fill out the form: https://form.jotform.com/260498350446866

If you are an international team and we have not yet connected, please PM your details and I will be in touch!
