ABOUT SHOOT HQ ACADEMY

Shoot HQ Academy is our premier development program for athletes who are serious about improving and want to learn how to train the right way.

Delivered in a high-performance, structured environment, each session combines strength & conditioning with advanced on-court skill development - building athletic foundations, sharpening decision-making, and ensuring everything translates to real game performance. Beyond the physical, athletes are taught how to understand the game through basketball theory, game awareness, and practical application.

Led by Joey Wright (3x NBL Coach of the Year), Olympian Adam Gibson, and the Shoot HQ coaching team, the Academy is built on accountability, discipline, and progression - not just drills.

With limited spots each term and selection based on attitude, commitment, and coachability, this is a focused development environment for athletes who want more than just a session.

Real coaching. Real development. Real results.
