Basketball performance · Keilor Park, Melbourne

We build scorers.

From Zero is a basketball performance facility in Keilor Park where we develop complete players. On-court skill work, strength and conditioning, sports physiotherapy and athletic testing sit under one roof, so every part of an athlete's game is built towards the same goal.

What we do best

Scorers are built, not born.

When the play breaks down and the shot clock is running out, someone on the floor has to go and get a bucket.

Building that player is what we do best. We train the physical qualities and the basketball skills that scorers rely on, and we train them together. A great handle means very little if you can't hold your ground through contact. A strong, explosive body only becomes a weapon when it comes with the skill and decision making to use it.

What makes a scorer

Six things.
We train all of them.

Every scorer we've worked with, from juniors to NBL, NBA and CBA players, relies on the same six qualities. Some get built in the gym, some on the court and most need both.

01

Strength

Scorers are strong enough to absorb contact, hold their line to the rim and finish through a defender's body. We build that strength in the gym with programs designed for basketball.

Stopping on a dime

Decelerating and changing direction at speed is what creates separation. We train the braking qualities in the body and the footwork on the court that turn a hard drive into an open look.

Handle

Scorers get where they want to go with the ball under pressure. Our skill sessions build a handle that holds up against real defence, not one that only looks good in the warm-up.

Shooting

We work on mechanics, footwork and shot preparation until a player's shot is repeatable off the catch, off the dribble and off movement.

Finishing

Scorers finish over and around any defender. That takes vertical power, body control and a wide range of finishes, which we develop on the court and in the gym.

Decision making

The best scorers make the right read under pressure: when to attack, when to pull up and when to make the extra pass. We build that game understanding into every session.

How we train

The court.
The gym.

Both are capped at six athletes at a time, so every player gets real coaching and plenty of reps instead of waiting in a line.

Basketball Training

Small groups by age, focused on the skills that carry into games: ball handling, shooting, finishing, footwork and competitive small-sided play, where players apply what they've learned against live defence.

Strength & Conditioning

This is where we build the athlete underneath the player. Programs develop strength, power, speed, deceleration and resilience so athletes jump higher, move faster, handle contact and stay on the floor all season.

Train both on the same day. Many of our members do, so their physical development and skill development work together.

Measured & protected

No guessing.
No time lost.

You can't improve what you don't measure, and you can't score from the sideline. Testing and physio keep every athlete on plan and on the floor.

Athletic Testing

Each athlete gets a clear picture of where they stand on vertical jump, speed, power and strength. Coaches use it to write programs that target that athlete's needs. Retesting shows exactly how far you've come and keeps athlete and coach accountable to the plan.

Sports Physio

Injuries are assessed and managed by someone who understands basketball and works alongside your coaches. Whether it's a niggle, a serious injury or reducing injury risk, rehab flows straight back into training.

Why From Zero

Results first.

Athletes come to us expecting to get better, and our coaches expect to deliver it. Nothing is in a program just because it looks good.

01

Everything is tracked

Every session, lift and test is tracked with data so training stays on plan. Most places simply don't do this.

02

Small groups, real coaching

A maximum of six athletes on the court or in the gym at any one time.

03

Led by people who've done it

Emmanuel Malou, our Head of Basketball Performance, spent 12 years as a professional player, including the NBL and Team South Sudan. Founder Jimmy Mullins has 12 years of coaching basketball athletes from grassroots through to NBL, NBA and CBA pros.

04

One building, one plan

Coaches and physio work side by side, so skill, strength and rehab never pull in different directions.
