Hey Gators,
ASCEND Player Development Program is back in 2024 for Term 2!
Ascend is a player development program that has been established by our Director of Coaching and Basketball Victoria High Performance Hub Lead Coach Randy Shanklin to guide the players through an age-appropriate system of basketball development. Designed for young athletes U12’s-U20’s looking to improve their skill level, knowledge of the game and focus on building a strong work ethic.
The program covers many different components including Ball Handling & Dribbling, Footwork & Body Control, Passing & Receiving, Rebounding, Screening, Shooting, Individual/Team Defensive Concepts & Individual/Team Offensive Concepts. Whilst we are committed to long term athlete development this program will challenge and develop our athletes in a way that they may be identified for Basketball Victoria pathways.
Whether your goal is to train regularly to improve your skills, compete for an opportunity to be nominated for Basketball Victoria pathways or to play in the USA college basketball system this program will help you unlock your potential if you are willing to put in the work to improve. This program is a connector for the Gators High Performance camps that are offered by the club during the school holidays for consistent skill development.
Randy has over 40 years of playing and coaching experience in the United States, Denmark, and Australia. In addition to his important roles at Altona as Director of Coaching, Big V Women’s Head Coach, Junior Gator Coach, he is also a Basketball Victoria High Performance Coach Hub Coach, Head of Basketball at Scotch College and Men’s Coach at La Trobe University in the University Basketball League and is also a four-time winner of the BIG V Coach of the Year Award.
