‘With the coaching of Bernadette our 13yr son has grown from strength to strength in his skills, become self-motivated, and has developed a true passion for basketball. Her training sessions are pitched at a level that fosters high engagement, enjoyment, and rapid improvement of skills. Our community is extremely lucky to have a coach of this high caliber.  I highly recommend Bernadette as a top basketball coach.’

‘My son started his training with Coach Bernie in late 2018. Through the last one and half year’s of training, my son has developed a solid foundation of basic basketball skill, which has allow him to go up to the next level.  Training with Coach Bernie has not only taught him how to play basketball, but also made him more confident, discipline, and resilient.’

Bernadette’s passion and skill for teaching basketball to young children has been apparent in the years Heath has been with her in her previous club. Throughout the years our son has been involved with basketball, we have been very impressed by her professionalism and organisation. She is always prepared to go the extra mile for the children such as organising holiday basketball camps. More recently, she has been running online classes which our son has thoroughly enjoyed. Her communication has been faultless and she has been instrumental in fueling Heath's passion for the sport. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Bernadette as Heath's basketball progresses.

‘I have known Bernadette for many years through my involvement in basketball in East Auckland. My two sons have been part of basketball teams, weekly coaching programs as well as holiday coaching clinics run by Bernadette. She is passionate about developing a love of basketball in children and providing coaching and competition opportunities to children in East Auckland. She is a skilled and professional coach who works hard to develop basketball skills in children of all abilities in a fun environment while also fostering a love of basketball and fair play. My sons have learned so much in her clinics and teams, they can’t wait to go to training every week. As a parent, I have also learned a great deal about basketball and running a team and I have always felt well supported by Bernadette and her team.’
