More Than A Coach.
Scottii Snowball built Paragon Elite Academy on one belief:
basketball is the vehicle, confidence is the destination.
— A NOTE FROM SCOTTII
"Every kid who walks onto my court is carrying something heavier
than a basketball, nerves, doubt, the fear of getting it wrong
in front of everyone. My job isn't just to fix a jump shot. It's to help
that kid stand a little taller."
"I've spent over thirty years in elite sport, and I promise you this:
the confidence we build here follows them long after they leave
the gym."

Scottii Snowball isn't just a basketball coach.
Scottii Snowball isn't just a basketball coach.
He's a confidence mentor, a mindset coach, a holistic counsellor, and to hundreds of Melbourne families, the adult who finally got their kid to believe in themselves.
With over 30 years in elite sport across basketball and gridiron, including a call-up to represent Australia, Scottii knows exactly what pressure, doubt, and high performance demand. He's lived it. That's why he coaches through calm authority and belief, never intimidation.
Before founding Paragon Elite, Scottii built his coaching craft through Victorian basketball. Ringwood Hawks, Kilsyth Cobras, and Nunawading Spectres,alongside an elite gridiron career that took him to the international stage.
Off the court, Scottii works as a qualified holistic counsellor, giving him a genuinely rare toolkit: the technical eye of an elite coach, paired with the emotional intelligence to understand exactly what's going on in a young athlete's head.
Scottii believes in your child until they believe in themselves. That's not a tagline, it's the whole philosophy.
