Empowering Our Youth

Our Story

At the heart of our operations is Lockdown Academy, a structured performance pathway guiding athletes from grassroots participation through to elite and international competition. Through clubs teams, representative tours, and global exposure opportunities, we support holistic athlete development, both on & off the court.

Participations progress through clearly defined stages, from local competitions to AAU circuits and USA Tours, gaining valuable experience at every level. We offer two representative team streams;

Our approach prioritises more than talent, we build leadership, discipline, cultural identity, resilience, and life skills to help young athletes thrive in sport and in life
