Hoops. Anywhere we can 👊🏽🧡

With the easing of restrictions most indoor courts are still closed this week. This morning our Werribee Bounce participants got to Hoop outside with Coach Omar and our legendary volunteers. We can always find a way to be together and connect on things that matter most.
Feels good to be back on court in community.

Our FUTURE programs are free, weekly, basketball training sessions for young people aged 12 and up who seek a more challenging, targeted approach to hoops.
Our latest program apparel is 🔥🔥🔥Created by the one and only Chad Mann ❤️.
We are lucky to have the support of the Ben Simmons Family Foundation to help us bring dreams to life in the work we do on and off the court.
At Future we work up a sweat and emphasize HUSTLE & HEART as well as DISCIPLINE and MENTORING young people to get to know their inner athlete. These programs run at Footscray, Dandenong, Werribee and soon to be North Melbourne. Suitable for the more experienced baller.
We leave each Future session feeling inspired by the level of skill and hard work put in by young people facing battles no one can see.
