A basketball facility on Orbit Drive in Rosedale, on Auckland's North Shore, owned by former Tall Blacks player Isaac Fotu since August 2024. The centre is built around shooting, with ball return guns that let a player take hundreds of shots in 30 minutes, AI that measures shot arc and release height, and experienced coaches on hand.
The site lists court hire for one-on-one play, a fully sprung main court for team training, holiday camps, 90-minute skills clinics, open court shooting and 45-minute group classes for all levels. Junior classes run with Fotu's coaching, and there is a 3x3 programme, leagues, events and birthday parties. A gym area called The Grind has resistance equipment for basketball strength.
The owner has played in the top leagues in Spain, Germany, Italy and Japan, and has represented New Zealand at three FIBA World Cups. He also represented New Zealand at the 2011 FIBA 3x3 World Cup, which the team won.
Bookings and the timetable are on the website.
Our pick on the North Shore for a young player who wants to train shooting with a professional who has played at the highest level.
