U16/U18 S3 Shooting Lab

Born 2010–2013

Train your Shot. Build your Confidence. Become a Better Shooter.

For our U16 and U18 athletes competing in representative seasons, we understand the significant number of commitments, training sessions and games that come with the pathway. S3 Shooting Lab has been designed with athlete load in mind, providing a focused, high-quality environment where athletes can continue to develop their technical skills, without adding unnecessary volume to their weekly schedule.

S3 Shooting Lab is a specialised shooting development program designed to help athletes become more confident, consistent and effective shooters.

Each session has a strong technical focus, with athletes working through purposeful shooting drills, targeting shooting technique, footwork, balance, shot preparation, consistency, range and game-like shot creation.

The program goes beyond simply getting up shots. Athletes will learn how to create quality shots, repeat their mechanics under pressure and transfer their shooting skills into real game situations.

With high-quality repetitions, individual feedback and challenging game-based drills, S3 Shooting Lab is designed for athletes who want to put in the work, refine their shooting technique, build consistency and become a more reliable scoring threat.

Private Coaching
& Small Group Sessions

Work directly with the S3 coaching team in a more personalised setting. Private and small group sessions are ideal for players who want targeted skill work and extra reps outside academy training.

  • 1-on-1 coaching for individual skill development and confidence
  • Small group sessions for friends, teammates, or shared position work
  • Great for athletes wanting extra work outside academy or team training
