The WOLFPACK Academy has been designed and will be delivered by the Brighton Wolves coaching staff.
The program has been created to support the ongoing development of our ‘wolfpack’ athletes, helping players build skills, confidence and game understanding beyond standard team training.
The WOLFPACK Academy has been developed to support Brighton Wolves players who want to keep improving.
We believe every player who is willing to work deserves access to quality coaching and development. The Academy provides that opportunity in a structured, supportive and challenging environment.
THE ACADEMY pilot program has been designed for all Brighton Wolves U10, U12 & U14 players (male and female) who want to improve their individual basketball skills or aspire to play Rep Basketball. Running as a 5 week pilot program, the success of the program will see it open up to U8 & U14's over a 10 week program starting in term 3.
The pilot program is designed for Brighton Wolves U10, U12 & U14 players, regardless of their current skill set, who want to improve their individual basketball skills. It is ideal for:
Players develop at different rates but effort, attitude and a willingness to learn are key.

Friday night sessions from 5pm are available for girls who can’t attend Sundays and for those wanting additional training.
The Academy will run a 5 week pilot program from Friday 22 May 2026. Sessions are once a in week in one hour blocks.
Additional sessions may be available for players wanting extra training and that can be discussed with the club if that is of interest.
Where possible, players will be grouped by age and general ability.
However, THE ACADEMY is designed to work more like a training environment where players develop at their own level within the same session.
Think of it like a yoga class. Everyone is working on the same focus, but at a level that suits their ability.
The structure allows coaches to challenge each player individually, ensuring everyone is progressing regardless of where they’re starting.
Each session is capped at 18 athletes, divided into:
That’s a 1:6 coach-to-player ratio, ensuring strong attention and feedback.
Across the 5 weeks, The Academy will focus on
Focused. Competitive. Supportive.
The coaching methodology is to build skill through repetition of drills. That may take 1 session for one child and 10 for another and that is ok!
We expect athletes to bring effort, respect their teammates and coaches, be open and willing to work hard.
There will be energy. There will be sweat. There will be improvement.

Players receive real-time coaching feedback throughout every session.
The program allows players to train at their own pace, with coaches adjusting feedback and challenges to suit each individual, helping them get the best possible outcomes from their training.
Effort and attitude are non-negotiable. Improvement comes from commitment. Athletes are expected to train with intent, ask questions, respect teammates and coaches, and take responsibility for their development.
