Pain
Across Queensland, athletes, coaches and teachers lacked access to consistent, high-quality basketball education. Opportunities to learn from NBL players were limited to occasional clinics, leaving regional communities without regular access to elite knowledge and role models.
Problem
The Brisbane Bullets faced challenges scaling development programs beyond in-person delivery. Geography, cost and time restricted participation, while teachers and coaches lacked structured resources that connected grassroots basketball to elite performance pathways.

The Brisbane Bullets partnered with Playbk Sports and the Queensland Government’s ActiveKIT initiative to launch Bullets Assist. Powered by the Playbk Platform, Schools and Academy, the program delivers player-led learning, structured pathways and flexible access for athletes, coaches and educators across Queensland.
