Does this sounds familiar?
You Want a Healthy Hobby…
But Don’t Know Where to Start
You’d love your child to have a meaningful hobby instead of just screens and tuition.
But with so many options, you’re not sure which sport, which academy, or what kind of program will actually keep them motivated long term. That is where team sports come into play.
Unreliable Schedule due to weather and crowded public courts
With safe, indoor training at SBA, your child trains consistently be it rain or shine. No weather cancellations, no crowded public courts, and no missed progress. Just a focused, controlled environment designed for real development, so improvement never stops.
You want a better pathway to DSA, Not Just Random Classes
You’ve heard that CCAs and sports achievements matter for schools and DSA, but there’s no clear roadmap.
You’re not sure how basketball can become a strength that supports their school applications, not just a weekly activity.
We understand because
we’ve been there.
From Wong Wei Long
Founder of SBA and Former Singapore National Veteran
I started basketball as a kid with big dreams but very little structure.
Training was on outdoor courts, with whoever was free, doing whatever drills we could think of. Progress was slow, and many talented kids around me eventually gave up because they didn’t have proper guidance or a clear path.
After representing Singapore at the highest level, I realised something important:
young players don’t just need “more training” they need the right environment, a structured pathway, and coaches who truly care about their growth as people, not just as athletes.
That’s why I founded SBA.
SBA blends fun, motivation and discipline so kids actually enjoy coming to class while improving consistently.
Our coaches all come from competitive backgrounds, and we guide every child through a clear development journey from ages 3 to 18 from basics to game-ready, at a pace that suits them by developing our own curriculum.
Today, SBA supports thousands of players across Singapore.
Parents see their children becoming not only stronger and more skilful on the court, but also more confident, responsible and resilient in life.
SBA is more than an academy.
It’s a home and a community where every player is seen, supported, and guided to reach their full potential, on and off the court.
Introducing the SBA SCORE Method™
This isn’t just another basketball class.
SBA uses a 5-step SCORE pathway to take children from beginners to confident, competitive players – with a clear roadmap parents can actually see.
STEP 1:
A Clear Roadmap From Age 5 to 18
No more guessing what comes next.
Your child follows a structured pathway that grows with them, from basic coordination to competitive game play, so you can track progress at every stage.
STEP 2:
Real Athletes, Real Coaching, Real Progress
All sessions are led by coaches with competitive playing backgrounds.
We blend fun, motivation and discipline so kids enjoy coming to class, while actually improving week after week.
STEP 3:
Skill, Character & Confidence – Developed Together
SBA believes basketball is more than a sport.
Through our SCORE Method™, kids learn resilience, teamwork, focus and responsibility, the same traits that help them succeed in school and in life.

Experience a Complimentary SBA Trial & Development Assessment (Worth SGD 80) — Free for a Limited Time
For a short period, we’re opening up FREE trial sessions at 5 locations across Singapore so you can experience the SBA difference before committing to anything.
No pressure, no hard sell, if we’re not a fit, you still walk away with a clearer understanding of your child’s strengths and gaps that they can work on.
We Don’t Just Teach Basketball. We Rebuild Confidence.
Imagine your child stepping onto the court knowing exactly what to do –
not hiding at the side, but calling for the ball, taking the shot,
and walking back to you with a smile that says, “I can do this.”
Story 1 – From Shy & Unsure to Team Leader
“When he first joined SBA, he was afraid to even dribble in front of others.
After a few months, he was calling out plays and encouraging his teammates.
His teachers tell us he now raises his hand in class too.”
- Started with no sports background
- Placed into our Strong Foundation and Core Skills groups
- Gradually took on small leadership roles in drills and games
Story 2 – From No Fundamentals to School Team Ready
“My daughter couldn’t dribble with her left hand and always avoided PE.
After training with SBA, she not only made it into her school team,
she actually looks forward to training days.”
- Worked through the SCORE Method™ step by step
- Built game IQ and confidence in small-sided competitions
- Used her progress as part of her CCA & school application story
This Is What We’re Really Building.
The best part isn’t just smoother dribbling or a better layup.
It’s when a child looks you in the eye with pride,
because they know they’ve earned their progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
Visit our Help Center to get in touch. We’re always here and ready to respond.
My child is a complete beginner. Can they still join?
Yes. Most kids who start with SBA are beginners. Our SCORE Method™ is designed to build strong foundations first, so your child will be placed in a group that matches their level.
What age is the program suitable for?
We currently accept players from 5 to 18 years old, with different groups by age and ability. The trial helps us recommend the right pathway for your child.
Is my child too young for basketball?
If your child is 5 or above and can follow simple instructions, they can start. For younger players, we focus more on movement, coordination and fun games rather than “serious drills”.
What happens during the free trial?
Your child will:
Join a real training session
Be observed and assessed by our coaches
Receive feedback and a suggested development plan
You’ll also have a short chat with the coach after to discuss next steps.
What should my child bring?
Comfortable sportswear, sports shoes, a water bottle and a small towel. If they have their own ball, they can bring it – if not, we’ll provide one.
Is it safe? Who are the coaches?
All sessions are run by trained coaches with competitive playing backgrounds. Safety, supervision and age-appropriate training are our top priorities.
Can this really help with getting into top schools / DSA?
Basketball can be a strong part of your child’s CCA profile. Through regular training, competitions and leadership opportunities, we help build a portfolio and confidence that supports school applications.
