Meet our Team
We are extremely fortunate to have a great team here at Bounce Academy. They are full of drive and are motivated to help kids in our community achieve their basketball goals. Our coaches have a wealth of experience working with kids in developing fundamental basketball skillsets and we also have a management team that ensure our operation runs like a well oiled machine.
ASHTON
Ashton has a passion for the sport of basketball that would be hard to beat. He is a huge fan of the game and has played for most of his life. His coaching drive began with his own children and has grown to encompass development in the junior space.
“Seeing the improvement in kids and the growth of the game happen in front of your eyes is really fulfilling”
Academy Coach
Having played basketball including at representative level, throughout his youth, coaching was always the next step for Adam and he loves it. His ability to relate to kids on all levels helps promote their developmental progress.
“What I never get tired of is when you see a child realise that they have accomplished something they’ve worked hard to get - it’s the enjoyable part of coaching”
Academy Coach
ADAM
Darryl has been involved in all aspects of basketball for many years. From a fan to a player, through to coaching and managing. Development of youth is his thing and coaching at the junior level is now what drives his passion for the sport.
“It’s about helping kids in our community reach their goals and sharing in their success as they improve. That’s what makes being involved in Bounce so satisfying”

DARRYL
Alisha is our ‘ideas’ specialist and is constantly thinking of ways to improve the Bounce Academy experience. Creating efficiencies, value and a real sense of belonging to something special are what motivates her, along with a basketball mad family.
“Opportunities to make a difference in the community don’t come around too often, so at Bounce we’re making the most of this one”
Academy Manager
ALISHA
With three boys who live and breathe basketball, there was no escape for Sarah. She has literally taken on the motto, if you can’t beat them…..join them. With awesome organisational skills, she’ll ensure that things are kept well in order!
”Sometimes putting things off until later becomes never, so I’d rather do things that need doing, now. That’s what providing value is all about”
Academy Manager
SARAH
Along with being one of our amazing managers, Zoe is also our resident medical professional at Bounce Academy. Family time is basketball time in her household so she is used to dealing with the bumps and bruises that come with the sport.
“Injuries are part of any sport including basketball so helping kids understand how to take care of them if and when they occur is important at Bounce”
