In competitive school basketball, every repetition counts. Coaches want efficient practices, confident shooters, and measurable progress. Yet, with limited court time and crowded schedules, even the most committed programs struggle to get players enough quality reps.
St Bernard’s College in Wellington faced this same challenge, until they introduced the ProShot X basketball shooting machine, supplied by Premier Sports Equipment NZ. The results were immediate, measurable, and transformational.
The Challenge: Limited Time and Missed Opportunities
Before adopting the ProShot X, training sessions often relied on manual rebound drills. Players waited for passes, coaches retrieved balls, and shot volume stayed low. In a 90-minute practice, most athletes were lucky to attempt 150 meaningful shots far short of what’s needed for consistent growth.
The St Bernard’s coaching team wanted a system that could:
-
Maximise repetitions without compromising form
-
Provide consistent, accurate passes from multiple court spots
-
For the shooting machine to be programmable
The Solution: Bringing Technology to the Court
To close that gap, the school invested in the ProShot X, an advanced basketball shooting machine designed for precision and efficiency. Its programmable passing system, adjustable tempo, and multi-angle rebound net allowed coaches to customise drills for every skill level.
The machine quickly became a staple of daily practice.
“It’s completely changed how we train,” said the school’s basketball coordinator. “Our players are more focused, and they’re taking hundreds of quality shots each session. The ProShot X keeps the pace high and the energy up, it’s like having another coach on the floor.”
Why Other Schools Are Following
Across New Zealand, basketball programs are beginning to see performance technology not as a luxury, but as an essential part of athlete development. Shooting machines like the ProShot X allow schools to:
-
Modernise their training environments
-
Maximise the value of limited practice time
-
Create a professional-level standard for young players
