A team of local basketball and business experts is set to open MyCOURT, a new, state-of-the-art basketball centre in North Lakes equipped with the same elite shooting technology used by every team in the NBA.
Professional-Grade Facilities
The new membership-based facility, located at 2/10 Torres Crescent, is designed to provide professional-level resources to the wider community. The centrepiece is a custom court surface matching the specifications of the FIBA 3×3 World Championship, configured as a full-size court with two additional shooting lanes for a total of seven hoops. Included in the membership is access to a functional fitness gym, built specifically to help players improve their on-court performance.
A key feature is the Gun10K shooting machine, a piece of advanced equipment used by all 30 NBA teams and the vast majority of top-tier US college programs, which will be available for members to use. The facility also includes a mezzanine Players Lounge, an area for players to recover and for spectators to watch over the court. The centre will operate daily from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Championing Development and Inclusion
Beyond its physical resources, the organisation has a strong focus on player growth and community connection. The founders state that a primary goal is to make a positive impact on the community. Membership allows players to sign up for a range of development programs suitable for those just starting out as well as experienced representative players.
This focus on mentorship is driven by the leadership team, with co-founder Alyce Chang-Chien leading initiatives to support girls in basketball and improve access for underrepresented youth. Her professional background of over 20 years in early childhood education informs the centre’s strengths-based coaching philosophy, which aims to empower young people through sport.
Experienced Local Leadership
MyCOURT was founded by four partners with deep roots in local sport and business. The team’s varied expertise combines extensive basketball experience with professional management skills. Co-founder Grant brings over 20 years of experience in basketball club management and coaching, complemented by a career in engineering and network design. Business Director Jenny is a certified Lead Auditor with 25 years of experience in quality and risk management, bringing a focus on professional operations and compliance.
The on-court programs are directed by co-founders Peter and Alyce Chang-Chien. Peter is a former ABA player and respected coach with over 30 years of leadership experience at clubs including Northside Wizards and Petrie Pythons. Alyce is also a dedicated coach and former representative player who leads coach development at Petrie Pythons, championing an inclusive approach to youth sport.
