Ask me anything before you join.

You will get an answer from me, not from an inbox somebody checks on Fridays. Usually the same day, always within one business day.

Straight to the coach.

If you would rather just start, both plans are month to month and you can cancel any time. Otherwise, ask away.

Your details stay with Liddicoat Basketball and are never passed on.

What happens after you send this

It comes to me, not to a shared inbox. You will usually hear back the same day and always within one business day. If you have not heard anything after that, it means the message did not arrive, so call or email directly rather than waiting.

The reply will be an actual answer to what you asked. If your question is whether the coaching suits your child, I will tell you honestly, including when the answer is no. There are plenty of players who are better off putting the money into a second domestic season than into private coaching, and I would rather say so than take the sign up.

What to include if you want a useful answer

Your child's age and how long they have been playing. Whether they are in domestic or rep, and which association if you know it. And the one thing you are actually worried about, whether that is confidence, a specific skill, tryouts coming up, or that they are thinking about quitting.

You do not need any of that to get in touch. It just means the first reply can be specific instead of generic.

If you are not ready to talk to a coach yet

That is completely reasonable, and there is a lot on this site that does not involve me at all. The guide to junior basketball in Victoria covers what a season costs, how rep and domestic differ, how grading works, and when tryouts run. It is free, it has its sources on every page, and nothing in it is a sales pitch.

Start with what it actually costs or domestic or rep if you are weighing up the year ahead.
