Our Story
SIDA was established with the intent of solving two noticeable concerns within junior basketball. Firstly, the issue of inadequate coaching and secondly, the issue of gender discrimination in sports.
Upon noticing an epidemic of players lacking critical basketball fundamentals required for success at the game, we felt the need for a solution. Through our analysis of the situation, we discovered the core issue was no fault of the players but rather due to the inadequate coaching received mostly from a base of inexperience and lack of knowledge - often, commonly witnessed when an untrained parent or sibling assume the coaching role over engaging a professional coach. The SIDA Basketball Academy lives to resolve the issue through the provision of specialised coaches and elite basketball programs. At SIDA, our key focus is to ensure that your child has a solid foundation and achieves success in the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the game. Research and intervention studies show that the foundations for success are laid in childhood, hence making it critical that your child receives THE RIGHT COACHING, RIGHT FROM THE START!
The gender discrimination experienced in sports is a key development initiative of SIDA. Did you know that animal sports receive more television viewing time than female sports? According to research from the University of Massachusetts, female athletes are portrayed as inferior to male athletes causing low self-esteem, body image and lack of engagement in sports amongst females. Research also indicates a higher number of female drop-outs in sports, in comparison to the opposite gender. Our attention on female athletes is unique and driven by this strong evidence. Through program design and specific coaching methodologies, we aim to close the gap between female and male athletes and promote female sports with the attention it deserves.
