GymStrength
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.
Basketball performance · Keilor Park, Melbourne
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.
The question we get asked most
We turn basketball players into scorers. Skill on the court, strength in the gym, testing to prove it's working and a physio to keep you on the floor.
Most players train skills in one place, lift somewhere else and see a physio who has never met their coach. At From Zero it all happens in one building, with one plan and one goal: making you harder to guard.
Small-group skill sessions, max six players. Handle, shooting, finishing, footwork and live small-sided play.

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
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.
GymScorers 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.
Gym + CourtDecelerating 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.
CourtScorers 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.
CourtWe work on mechanics, footwork and shot preparation until a player's shot is repeatable off the catch, off the dribble and off movement.
Gym + CourtScorers 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.
CourtThe 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
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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.
Sports physio → 12-week knee program →Who's trained here
Our coaches have worked with athletes from local juniors through to NBL, NBA, WNBA and CBA players, and the same approach runs through every session.
"I played 7 games over the weekend and my knees weren't in any pain. I feel more explosive and controlled. I was dunking without pain. You made basketball fun again for me."
Sunday M · VIC
"I've been working with Jimmy for 3 years. The attention to detail in his programming has allowed me to overcome various injuries. Could not recommend more."
Abdi H · VIC
"My knee is so much better recently. Played basketball for 2 straight hours with no breaks and I have no pain at all."

Why From Zero
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.
Every session, lift and test is tracked with data so training stays on plan. Most places simply don't do this.
A maximum of six athletes on the court or in the gym at any one time.
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.
Coaches and physio work side by side, so skill, strength and rehab never pull in different directions.
