About Sidney Mines Institute of Basketball
Sidney Mines Institute of Basketball is a Runcorn-based basketball training program built around one of Brisbane's most respected developmental coaches. Operating from a state high school venue, it offers serious, structured skill development for young players aged eight to eighteen who want to lift their game beyond what a standard team training session can provide.
The coaching philosophy is old-school and demanding, layering technical skills one step at a time so that what players learn in training genuinely transfers into competitive games. Parents speak about players who arrive as beginners and go on to make school and club teams, crediting the methodical, detail-focused approach and the way each new skill builds on the last.
Just as importantly, this is about character as much as crossover dribbles. The program uses basketball as a vehicle to build confidence, discipline and resilience, tackling the mental challenges young people face along the way. With alumni who have reached the NBA and NBL, it has earned a strong reputation among Brisbane families looking for committed, growth-focused coaching for their kids.
