Bounce couldn't agree more! 🧡🏀

Wez has supported Bounce Academy since day one and has always been a great advocate for what we're trying to achieve through basketball.

Over the years, he's generously given his time to support our members, coaches, and the wider basketball community, always willing to lend a hand where needed.

We're incredibly grateful to have Wez as part of the Bounce Academy family and are so happy to see him recognised for the positive impact he continues to make.

Well deserved, Wez! 🫶🏻

Volunteer recognition... WEZLEY PO***CK!

Behind every great community are volunteers who show up, give back, and make a difference. Their generosity, dedication, and commitment help turn ideas into meaningful impact.

" Wez is one of those people who quietly gives an incredible amount of his time to support others and make a real difference in the community. He has been a huge driving force behind the growth of basketball at Manchester Street School and the
impact he has had on the kids is obvious. Basketball has become something students genuinely love being part of, and a lot of that comes down to Wez’s passion, energy, and commitment. He is always willing to help, encourage kids, and create a positive environment, whether that’s coaching, organising, or simply out shooting hoops with students before the school bell goes. "

🏀 TERM 2 CHAOS ON THE COURT | PRO

The Pro parents clearly weren't interested in handing out easy buckets - they came ready to compete!

There were loose balls, bodies on the floor, a few parents taking unexpected tumbles, and plenty of competitive moments along the way.

Safe to say Chaos on the Court delivered exactly what was promised.

🏀 TERM 2
CHAOS ON THE COURT | JUNIOR

Our Junior Ballers wrapped up Term 2 with Chaos on the Court.

Parents stepped onto the court for our last session of the term and quickly found out the kids weren't going to take it easy on them.

Plenty of laughs, a few highlight plays, and chaos from start to finish.

Term 2 done! 🏀

What a term it's been. As always, we've welcomed back plenty of familiar faces and met lots of new ones along the way.

So many amazing kids, each bringing a great attitude, willingness to learn, and enthusiasm every week.

One of the best parts of what we do is watching their confidence grow, their skills improve, and their love for the game continue to develop.

Thank you to all our members and families for another fantastic term. We're incredibly proud of the progress made this term and can't wait to see everyone back on court next term! 🙌

The best way to start our Sunday sessions! 🤍

Our Year 1 & 2 Minis bring plenty of cuteness to the court. Watching them learn, grow, and fall in love with the game is what it's all about.

The kids had a few questions for the Property Brokers Jets today... so we handed them the mic!

Here's a little Q&A from the Jets' visit to Bounce Academy. 💚💚

Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Azania Pekepo, Artis, Boston and Isaac from the Property Brokers Jets to Bounce Academy! 🏀

We can't thank them enough for the time and genuine investment they put into joining our sessions today.

They didn't just stop by - they got involved, connected with our members, shared their experiences, and helped create an unforgettable day for everyone in the gym.

It was fantastic to see our members engaging with the Jets, asking questions and sharing the court with them throughout the sessions.

The atmosphere in the gym was awesome, and there was plenty of excitement from start to finish.

Experiences like these go far beyond the court. They inspire our young members, reinforce the value of hard work and dedication, and show what's possible through a love of the game.

A huge thank you again to Azania, Artis, Boston and Isaac for giving up your time and making such a positive impact on our academy.

We truly appreciate your support and loved having you with us today.

That’s a wrap… literally! 🎁🏀

A fun way to finish off the year with our Bounce kids popping through to say Merry Christmas!

We hope all our Bounce members and families enjoyed today’s sessions as much as we did.

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy holiday break. Thanks for being part of our Bounce family - we hope to see you all back on court next year! 🎄
