GFS Basketball

GFS Basketball is a leading personal training service in Lidcombe, Sydney, Australia. Founded by Coach John, GFS Basketball focuses on three core values: Faith, Hard work, and Discipline. With a mission to help athletes reach their full potential, GFS Basketball offers a range of services and training programmes for athletes of all ages and skill levels.

Coach John's own basketball journey began as a late bloomer. He started playing for an Under 18 Division 1 programme and played for his high school team before moving up to Youth League Division 1 and ABA (Currently NBL1). His talent and dedication were recognised, and he was blessed with a full ride scholarship to a Junior College in Iowa, USA. This led to offers from Division 1 and Division 2 NCAA schools, eventually committing to play at a NCAA Division II school in Michigan.

Throughout his career, Coach John was a part of a winning culture, participating in High School Nationals, Nunawading National Tournament (VIC), and winning the GLIAC Conference Championship (NCAA DII). However, injuries impacted his passion and hindered his progress towards the professional level.

In the present day, Coach John has transitioned into a skilled trainer, dedicating the past year and a half to studying the game, building a progressive curriculum, and learning from basketball mentor Drew Hanlen. His goal is to help athletes achieve success in areas where he fell short. With his expertise, faith, hard work, and discipline, Coach John has helped numerous athletes reach Rep/Prep School in the US, FIBA U/19, and NBL1. Currently, he is training 8 NBL1 athletes.

GFS Basketball offers a variety of training programmes to cater to individual athletes' needs. These include the Advanced Group Workout, Foundational Small Group Workout, Intermediate Small Group Workout, Advanced Small Group Workout, and NBL1 Individual Workout. Each session is designed to enhance skills, build foundations, and advance athletes' game to the next level.

GFS Basketball has garnered rave reviews from athletes who have trained with them.

Ali Harrouk, a Prep School athlete, praises Coach John for taking his game to another level and guiding him in the right direction when he had doubts.
