AOTEAROA
Auckland-based 1-on-1 and group shooting clinics and mentoring with Coach Val — former Auckland Stars shooting guard & Junior Tall Black. Virtual shot analysis worldwide.
Val Te Ratana — former Auckland Stars shooting guard and Junior Tall Black — brings over 30 years of basketball experience and nearly 20 years of developing both shooters and people. Far more than just a skills coach, Val mentors players and coaches alike to elevate the game across Tāmaki Makaurau. The Blueprint delivers this elite standard through in-person 1-on-1 and group clinics, alongside worldwide virtual shot analysis.
