In 2023, the Adelaide 36ers launched a High Performance School Partnership to bring together schools across Adelaide with elite basketball coaching, leadership development, mentoring and match-day experiences.

We partner closely with select schools, tailoring the program to amplify both sporting and educational outcomes both on and off the court.

PARTNER SCHOOLS

TESTIMONIALS

The coaching support from the 36ers has elevated the standard of our training sessions and provided students with valuable insights they wouldn’t get elsewhere.

“The program has complemented the strong focus we have on providing opportunities for students of all ages and abilities to enjoy the sport and develop skills.”

“This is an amazing opportunity for all our students, particularly where some may not have the ability to join district clubs and other associations.”

IMPACT

The coach education sessions have helped school coaches refine practice design and tactical delivery, improving student performance in inter-school matches.
