Welcome to Having a Ball

I'm Dylan Taylor and my mission is to ensure players, coaches and parents are always Having a Ball when they are on a basketball court. 

How it all began...

I caught the basketball bug in Prep (5 years old) when I scored my first bucket throw with Mrs Anzac watching on in awe...or so I thought. It was 9 years later with the invite from a mate at highschool that I would start playing organised basketball as a lanky 14 year old for the Emerald Lakers. I was obsessed from this point on, spending every recess, lunchtime and free time afterschool working on my game. 

Where my coaching obsession started...

I pursued sport as my career and studied a Bachelor of Sport Development at Deakin University from 2008 - 2010. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and was fortunate enough to land the role of Stadium Manager at the Horsham Basketball Association from 2011 - 2013. It was here where I realised two things:

1. There are very few high quality resources to support coaches of beginners and domestic players. 

2. Whilst I was a good player, my game had holes in it because I didn't receive coaching from experts. 

From my 2011 until this current day it has been my driving ambition to provide the highest quality basketball experiences to players, coaches and parents so they can enjoy all the holistic benefits basketball provides. 

Until next time, keep Having a Ball.
