WE TEACH. YOU IMPROVE.
Most programs take anyone who shows up. This one starts with an assessment. 12 athletes per session. Not for exclusivity. For real coaching.

THE STANDARD
IS THE STANDARD.
Most basketball programs chase volume: more athletes, more sessions, more revenue. More athletes usually means less attention for each one. Jono Hansford has developed over 1000 athletes, from junior rep level through to the NBL, WNBL, WNBA and beyond.
"Every rep has a reason. Every correction has a purpose. There are no passengers in this program."
Every session runs at 98B Herald St, Cheltenham. No shared courts, no waiting on another group to clear. Runs on time, every time.
SESSION
HOW THE
WORK
GETS DONE.
No wasted reps. Athletes are coached, corrected and pushed in real time. 12 per session isn't a selling point, it's what makes the standard possible. Here's exactly what that looks like.
Session Specifications
Every drill happens at game speed. Every touch reacts to what the defence gives you, not just cool moves.
We train finishing the way it happens in real games: through contact, off balance, and tired. Not easy, uncontested layups.
We break down your shot before the first rep. Most players don't need a new shot, just the right fix, applied until it sticks.
Every session ends in live play at full speed, with correction in the moment. Drills are the setup, not the point.
IN THEIR
OWN WORDS.
Not endorsements. Not pulled quotes. Unsolicited feedback from professional athletes in the NBL, WNBL, WNBA, Boomers, Opals and NZ Tall Blacks on what the work actually did for their game.
"Jono is an awesome coach. He studies a lot of film and shows his players a different approach to the game. He's very knowledgeable when teaching shooting but also knows how to hoop, so we get that live aspect in workouts."
"Jono has been instrumental in my development. He helped me elevate my game to get back into the NBL, and his dedication and approach made all the difference."
"Working with Jono has been a game-changer for me. His attention to detail and ability to adjust my shooting mechanics has taken my game to the next level."
"The thing I love about Jono is his commitment to the game and the investment he makes in each individual player."
"Jono's approach has been a game-changer, especially in my NBL1 season. His detailed analysis and personalised tips have helped me become more effective and confident on the court."
IS THIS
THE RIGHT
FIT?
This is an in-person assessment run by Jono and the coaching team. You'll leave knowing what you're already great at, what needs work, and how to fix it. If you qualify, you join the program and we help you do it. If you're not quite there yet, you still get a clear plan for what to work on.
Not every athlete is the right fit for this program, and that's fine. If it's a no for now, you leave with a clear path to get there.
"Jono has helped me with a lot of shooting and reads. What stands out most is his ability to adjust small things that make a huge difference."

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Who runs the assessment?+
Jono and the coaching team, in person, at the Cheltenham facility. It's how we determine if you qualify for one of our small group programs, not a video review or a form.
What does it cost?+
Pricing is confirmed when you book your assessment through Acuity. Payment is handled at that step.
What if I'm not the right fit yet?+
You still leave with a plan for where to focus your training and what level you'd need to reach before joining. It's not a rejection, it's direction.
Can I reschedule or cancel my assessment?+
Yes — reschedule or cancel through the confirmation link in your Acuity booking email, with as much notice as you can give us.
