Book private basketball coaching in Potts Point

The 80/20 rule in basketball means focusing most of your training on the small set of skills that appear most often in games.

• Dribble penetration: attacking the basket off the dribble is a high-frequency skill that unlocks easy scoring and creates foul opportunities.
• Passing and cutting: learning to pass and cut effectively gives players a foundation that applies regardless of the play being run.
• Catch-and-shoot mechanics: a reliable catch-and-shoot game is one of the 20% of skills that translates directly into points.
• Defensive positioning: sound defensive fundamentals are high-leverage habits that affect every single possession.

Working with an experienced coach ensures your practice time is spent on what matters most, not just what feels comfortable.

A private basketball lesson in Potts Point costs approximately $90/h.

• Where the sessions take place

Comparing several profiles helps you find the best value for your goals.

Learning basketball as a beginner means building a solid technical base before adding complexity or game strategy.

• Ball handling: learning to dribble without looking at the ball opens up decision-making in live play and is foundational for all positions.
• Shooting form: proper shooting technique starts with stance and balance, and a good tutor can correct small errors before they become ingrained habits.
• Footwork: clean footwork reduces turnovers and opens up passing and driving lanes that less disciplined players miss.
• Defensive stance: coaches agree that a strong defensive mentality and solid stance are easier to teach early and harder to develop once bad habits set in.

With consistent practice and the right coaching, beginners often see meaningful improvement within just a few weeks.
