We're excited to announce a new partnership between Academy Movement and Basketball Victoria, aimed at inspiring and engaging students across Victorian schools whilst helping grow the game of basketball across the state.
This collaboration will give students from Years 7-12 at participating schools the opportunity to develop expertise in officiating, coaching, nutrition, sports psychology, and sports strapping, all whilst strengthening their literacy, numeracy, and science skills through an engaging sporting context.
"Basketball Victoria partnering with Academy Movement represents our continued drive towards fostering inclusive and engaging pathways for young Victorians. Jimmy Orange's journey and his success in transforming student engagement through sports academies resonate deeply with our vision and objectives at Basketball Victoria. By leveraging his expertise and our shared commitment to community and empowerment, we aim to expand opportunities that not only develop athletic skills but also nurture personal growth, development and community pride. Together, we look forward to inspiring more students across Victoria to thrive both on and off the court." David Huxtable – General Manager – Members Participation and Growth at Basketball Victoria.
This innovative approach transforms how students learn, using basketball as the vehicle to deliver essential academic skills whilst building confidence, leadership abilities, and a deeper connection to their school community.
"Academy Movement is proud to announce our new partnership with Basketball Victoria. This collaboration strengthens our commitment to improving student outcomes, increasing engagement in learning, and fostering a stronger connection to school through the power of sport. We're excited to share common values with Basketball Victoria and look forward to creating meaningful impact, both on and off the court, for basketball students across Victoria, now and into the future."
