The story behind ArcLab — and why we're redefining basketball training in Melbourne.
A personal story of passion, community, and lifelong love for the game.
My basketball journey started at age six in Eltham, where my family introduced me to the game that quickly became a lifelong passion.
From domestic competitions to rep, school championships, national tournaments, and even playing in Japan — basketball shaped my childhood and early adulthood.
I coached teams, refereed for four years, and today I help organise the massive Eltham–Dandenong Junior Basketball Tournament, connecting with thousands of young athletes and families each year.

ArcLab exists because Melbourne deserves a high-quality, technology-enabled basketball training facility that isn't restricted to elite academies.
No access to dedicated training facilities
Forced to compete for crowded public courts
Elite tools reserved for academy programs only
Passion without proper resources
Athletes with busy schedules can't train flexibly
Players need private space to experiment and grow
Elite training shouldn't require academy fees
"We're hoopers ourselves — and we saw it firsthand."
Your space, your session, zero interruptions
Train early morning, late night, or anytime in between
Dr. Dish-level machines accessible to everyone
Elite training without elite academy prices
Parents feel confident, players feel secure
Private lanes mean freedom to fail, learn, and grow
A hub where hoopers connect, train, and improve together
"ArcLab is our solution."
Melbourne's first high-quality, accessible, technology-enabled basketball training facility.
ArcLab's mission is to build Melbourne's first fully technology-enabled basketball performance space — available to anyone, anytime.
Where hoopers feel supported, inspired, and proud to train
We want ArcLab to become a place where players feel proud to train — and parents feel proud to bring their kids.
Be part of something bigger. Train with elite equipment, at your pace, on your schedule.
Your journey starts here. Whether you're taking your first shot or refining your game at the highest level, ArcLab is your home court.
