Jammers Academy 

After School Basketball Development Programme
Picture

How "Jammers" came about

The "Jammers" Academy programme is an adapted extension of our original Polyjammers Basketball team.

Due to the amount of uncertainty this year for organised sports, most Basketball competitions were either placed on hold or cancelled. Every week during and post lockdown our youth were desperate to play, and so we saw this as an opportunity to start our own in-house Basketball development programme once Auckland had clearance for Level 1. 
​

What is Jammers?

Once a week after school during term time our TYMS Basketball Coach hosts an after school training session run solely through schools.  Programme focus is on mentoring life skills through sport.​

Not only do the players develop Basketball skills, but also explore key values and soft-skills used in our everyday lives. Each session will creatively incorporate the weekly theme with the remainder of the training based on team ball skills and scrimmages. ​Weekly topics include healthy habits & self care, resilience and attitude, communication, team culture, the impact of social media and goal setting.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Our Location
Find us at 644 Swanson Road, Swanson, Auckland
“If I can just affirm all the great progress that our boys are showing at school in their confidence, physical health, and their learning. Much of which is attributable to the great work that their mentor is doing."

"TYMS helped me grow as a person. They helped me understand a few things that no one else was willing to help me understand, and help me see through things that no one else could." 

"Watching my son grow in the time that his mentor has been involved with him, aw bro it's been amazing. Without his mentor, my son wouldn't even be this young man that people are now seeing before their eyes. He's not out getting himself into trouble, bullying others, or hurting girls. My son came home one day after his session with the mentor and he said, 'I'm so happy you got me help mum'".
