Our training begins with foundational skills sessions tailored for beginners, where players master essential techniques like right and left-hand layups with proper footwork. As they progress, players advance to intermediate sessions, transforming basic skills into complex movements through easy-to-learn scenarios.

 

Once players demonstrate proficiency, they transition into advanced or rep-level sessions, where they apply their skills in high-paced game situations. Our curriculum includes habit-building drills to reinforce good practices, ensuring that each player not only learns but thrives.

James Spencer

Coach Brett was my first ever representative basketball coach when I started playing my juniors at Dandenong Basketball.

 

I was a raw player with much potential in need of guidance especially when transitioning into more organised/system-based basketball. 

 

I remember Brett being stern but also encouraging - he helped plant the seeds for me to learn concepts such as proper spacing offensively and defensively, moving the ball, and creating advantages that could be scored on.

 

Some of the most basic and fundamental drills I remember learning how to do for the first time with Brett, I still do to this day as a professional playing overseas in Japan. 

 

Above all else, when I look back through all the teams and coaches I’ve played for - it’s never really the X’s and O’s you remember, it’s the way they made you feel. 

I remember many words of encouragement and guidance whenever I’d get too carried away. 

 

Appreciate you always Brett!

I was honoured to have Brett coach me in my under 16s which seems like a lifetime ago, but looking back at that year it was nothing but an encouraged atmosphere.

 

He coaches with an amazing energy and clearly has a lot of love and experience of the game.

I also had the opportunity to work aside him with some of his kids camps and you can see the passion he passes on to the kids and the new skills they learn.

 

I love being able to communicate and keep in contact with the few coaches like Brett who impacted my junior years and follow my journey throughout the USA.

I couldn't be any prouder of what Brett McKean and Craig McKean have done with the U/12 Blues Girls.

Your hard work and dedication have paid off with 3rd place at a National tournament.

The way your team played all weekend was special and backed up by a great parent group who supported everyone and whatever decisions Brett made. When asked by my son Callan who were the starting 5 and Brett's best players I said I was unsure because of the way they play and move the ball so well.

What makes Brett a great coach is he is prepared to keep asking questions and wants feedback from his peers.

His work ethic is outstanding and he goes beyond what most Rep coaches do.

His relationship with Mike Brookens has further enhanced his coaching through SEABL.

Thank you so much for putting so much time and effort over many years with Matthew's basketball and simply being a good role model and friend for him to look up to.

 

Matt certainly respects you, Brett, as an excellent basketball coach and he will always remember the excellent development at the ground level that put him in good stead for realizing his dream to play college basketball in America. Matthew has had a pretty good first year at Green Mountain College. He got some good minutes in some games and was starting 5 in a couple of them.

 

We also see you as a terrific role model for him and appreciate all your time and effort over many years of coaching Matt, you have shown support and encouragement of our son in not just playing basketball, but also as a positive role model of life in general. It has been people like yourself who have helped make Matthew's dream come true, as well as assisted with him having a successful career after hopefully gaining a College Degree.

 

You may not realize, but you are one of the links of the chain that have helped changed a person’s life for the better and those middle years with you certainly were all quality.

So, on behalf of Matthew, April and I, a big thank you Brett for all your support, encouragement and guidance over several years.
