My 9 year old son has been working with Coach Funky for 3 months now, learning basketball fundamentals. His improvement has been rapid and not only is he learning but he is enjoying it too!! Funky has a great way with communication with him and he will be continuing for some time to come. Highly recommended!!

Coach Maree currently runs my sons grade 2 basketball team and has been fantastic. She is a great role model for them, is tough but fair, and always as her players at heart when talking to them. They boys have come along in leaps and bounds in the 2 terms she's had them. Thankyou Coach.

I've known Funky for long time through my years training at UBX. To get 1 on 1 sessions with him now to work on my footwork and weight transfer has improved my boxing 10 fold. I'm no danger of getting in the ring of course, but get much more out of my fitness workouts now I'm working on my technique and form weekly with him.

What an amazing set up! Mark and his team have an incredible spot, only to be outdone by the coaching. His team have helped both my kids improve with great advice in a supportive and nurturing environment. Couldn't recommend Funk's Corner more highly!!
