Train, Compete, Represent
The IANL Raptors are our youth basketball squad — a weekly Saturday training session for brothers aged 12–16 who want to take the game seriously. This is not a casual kickabout: expect proper drills, conditioning, set plays and competitive match play, led by coaches who will push your son to improve week on week.
Whether he already plays at school or is just starting to find his feet on court, the Raptors are about building skill, discipline and a team he belongs to.
🏀 What a session looks like
- Warm-up and conditioning — footwork, agility and injury prevention
- Ball-handling drills — dribbling under pressure, passing, finishing
- Shooting practice — form, free throws and shooting off the move
- Team play — set plays, defensive shape and reading the game
- Scrimmage — full-court match play to put it all together
📍 When & Where
- Saturdays: 5:00pm – 6:15pm
- Ages: Boys 12–16
- Where: Strawberry Vale MUGA (or a local court) — please note this is an external venue, not at the masjid
- Frequency: Weekly during term time
⚠️ Registration is required
Because the Raptors train at an external venue rather than at the mosque, your son must be registered and booked in before he attends. Please do not send him to the court without registering first — we need to know who is expected in order to run the session safely, and numbers at the venue are limited.
Use the registration link below, and join the Youth WhatsApp Community Channel so you are notified if a session moves or a court changes at short notice.
🎒 What to bring
Sportswear, basketball trainers with clean non-marking soles, and a drinks bottle. Sessions run outdoors, so please send a warm layer in colder months.
🔒 Pickup & safeguarding
As with all IANL youth activities, a parent or guardian must be present for handover at the exact start and finish times of the session. This matters especially at an external venue — please be on court at 5:00pm and back at 6:15pm.
❓ Questions
If you would like to know more about the squad, your son’s level, or how the external venue works, please get in touch with the IANL youth team, or ask in the Youth WhatsApp Community Channel.
