Praha runs an absolutely superb Basketball Academy. My son has been going for years and really loves it. The environment Praha has created is a credit to him and his team - welcoming, structured and lots of fun! The Camps that Praha runs throughout the year are also excellent, with lots of variety for all kids! My son cannot wait to return when everything gets back to normal, and I would have no hesitation recommending TR Basketball Academy to anyone.
My 3 kids age 6, 8 and 10, 2 boys and a girl, had an absolutely fantastic week in the (Covid compliant) summer camp 2020. There was brilliant engagement by the coaches and an amazing variety of activities that worked for all children - the rain didn’t even stop the fun. They can’t wait to join the camp this coming summer.
My daughter 6 has attended both the Easter & summer camps and loved every second and made so many friends, lots that weren’t in her school. The camps are extremely well organised, safe and more important FUN. We are waiting in anticipation for the next ones!
My daughters attended the camps run by Praha for a number of years. The camp was fantastic, and the staff were really friendly and caring. The camp maintained high standards of care while producing a wide variety of activities over the years. They transitioned to the basketball academy classes, especially my younger daughter where she developed knowledge and skills on the court. From there went on to join the basketball team which she thoroughly enjoys and can't wait to get back to when the Level 5 restrictions are lifted.
TR Basketball Academy Camps are what my kids look forward to most during the summer holidays and term breaks. For the last 10 years I have availed of their excellent services for Easter & Halloween Breaks and at least 2 weeks every summer. Their full day inclusive programme means the kids have both up and downtime each day, they get to meet a variety of other kids and lifelong friendships have been formed. We'll be first on the list as soon as booking reopens. A completely safe haven for playing when school is out. I can't recommend TR enough.
My two boys (now aged 9y/11y) attended the TR Academy Easter and Summer Camps for at least three years in a row, from when they were 4y/6y. They thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. My boys are quite sporty so the range of activities undertaken was great for them. Every day they looked forward to attending, it was never a battle. Even now, my eldest talks about becoming a coach in "Praha's Camp" when he's old enough, Camp
The coaches had a wonderful way of engaging with my boys and I always felt they were well supervised during the day. I would highly recommend the TR Academy Camp and Praha to anyone.
My girls have been to 3 weeks of camps with TR academy and they love it. It is the only camp they are happy to attend. They have such great fun. The team who work with the kids are great, high energy and make it fun for the kids. My girls are looking forward to the next camp.
My 11yr old daughter attended camp with Praha and his team of coaches for most of summer 2020. She constantly talks about it and told us she doesn't care if we don't go to Spain in 2021 because she has camp. She loved all the coaches and the variety of different sports.
It's run so professionally. I was happy to leave her there every day knowing she was safe.
Cannot recommend this camp enough.
Fantastic fun at this week’s multi-sport camp. Good value and great fun for kids of all ages, with games and activities tailored for specific age groups. Well organised and the staff were great with the kids.
My 6 years old boy loving the camp, lovely staff and coach Praha is great, he looks forward to it every day. Great team
My 6 year old has just finished a week at the camp and really enjoyed all the activities, particularly the Nerf wars. He was so well looked after by Coach Praha and the other coaches and I would recommend it highly.
My 3 girls, an 8 year old and two 6 year olds just did 4 weeks in the camp and to say they enjoyed it is an understatement!! They had a blast! Thank you to all the staff. See you again soon! Would highly recommend it!
Excellent camp my two girls love it early drop off is great for parents who work. Highly recommend it
Amazing summer camp!! My son is 3 years old and he has had so much fun here and learnt so much. So glad I found it, reasonable prices and the coaches are amazing.
Highly recommend this camp, my son loves it, the staff are friendly, well organised and really look after the kids! Great flexibility, daily or weekly rates and various pick up times, different sports and games on everyday so no chance of getting bored!
Highly recommend TR Basketball Academy. Praha is a fantastic coach and amazing with kids. Summer and Easter camps are very well organised and fun. After school basketball lessons are 10/10.
Hi my 5yr had great fun at summer camp with TR academy and waiting for next summer camp already.
There were a lot of activities, the coaches were very nice and friendly. It was really good fun every day. ‘I joined the basketball club because of Praha’s camp'. That's from Luke.
Our kids have been at the basketball training and camps for a number of years now. They have great fun playing sports there and have made new friends outside their school group, mixing with boys and girls. The coaching is of a great standard, they're patient with the kids and it does bring them along. The fees are also good value with a number of options for drop off and collection. I recommend them without hesitation.

Basketball Testimonials
TR Basketball Academy was a great introduction to the sport for our three children. They steadily built up the skills and confidence required to play league games.
Firm friendships were made and great fun was had along the way.
Thanks to Coach Praha and his assistants for their invaluable guidance.

My daughter was lucky to participate in a couple of classes before lockdown came she absolutely loved it! She’s quiet shy and I could see how confident she was becoming each week with the encouragement from her coaches in the weekly lessons. Coaches are all great with the kids and really show an interest in improving the kids’ basketball skills while making sure the kids are enjoying the lesson. A lovely group of kids down there too. My daughter has made some great friends. Would definitely recommend.
My 3 children started at 4 years of age and have gone through TR Academy and loved every minute! They are encouraged and supported to meet and realise their full potential through fun and in an inclusive manner. They’re now active team players and love the game, and made friends outside of school with a common interest.
My daughter joined TR Basketball Academy, 5 years ago and over the past 3 years has played on a team for Northside Eclipse and now Tolka Rovers. My youngest who is now 7 started in the Academy 3 years ago.
From the outset Praha and all the team are friendly and warm and really put the children at ease. They consistently motivate and actively support each child to do their best.
There are plenty of weekly sessions to choose from for each age group. My children love the sessions and look forward to them each week. I would highly recommend TR Basketball Academy to anyone wanting to start out on their basketball journey and get some amazing friendships as part of the package.
My son has been going to TR academy since he was 3 years old. He loves all the coaches, drills and games and has progressed every year. The coach/kid ratio is really good and it’s really great value. The summer and mid-term camps are also really cool.
Perhaps the single most important decision my parents made for me as a young child was to enrol me into the TR Academy.
For a young person's development, both on and off the court, the TR Academy is a must.
It was here that I made friends I still have to this day, learned valuable life lessons and progressed as a basketball player.
I was challenged in a positive environment to discover that I could push myself further than I ever thought possible. Which as a result, helped me to represent my county and country along with playing in the National and Super League.
This was all possible due to the foundation I gained at an early age at the TR Academy.
I started at U9 level in TR Academy on Sunday morning. From here my love for basketball was born. I played my entire underage career with Tolka, had great fun, learned a lot of new skills, had some fantastic coaches and made lifelong friends along the way. I'm currently a member of the NL team and it is brilliant to see such great talent coming through the Academy, on both the girls and the boys’ side. The future of the club is very bright!
My 2 sons love the camp and have really enjoyed the basketball classes both training with teammates. My older son has graduated to playing matches, which he really loves. They can't wait to get back to it as soon as the lockdown is lifted!
My son has been attending Praha's basketball classes since he was 4. He always enjoyed it, and watching him play and train, so did I. And since he turned 9 he moved to the teams. Watching him and his team play in their Tolka Rovers kit on Saturdays or Sundays has been just fantastic, and his basketball skills certainly carried over to his other sports. Praha is an excellent coach, with a calm demeanour. I can recommend TR highly.
All 4 of my children started TR Academy the same year they started school. This academy has a great balance of teaching skills and having fun and gave them all a love for basketball and they have continued to play right through their teenage years.
Over the past 10 years, my 2 have sons have grown into very strong, well rounded individuals with a passion for basketball. They started off at an early age, in the academy learning new skills and techniques that enabled them to make fast decisions as individuals, as well as being part of a team.
Praha and his dedicated coaches took them under their wings and taught them self-discipline and determination.
They grew with the academy and developed further by joining the basketball club. Now not only do they use these skills on the court but apply them to everyday life! Thanks Praha!

I started in the TR Academy when I was 4 and a lot of my oldest memories are from playing basketball in the academy. The aim of the academy is not just to develop basketball skills at a young age but to grow valuable life skills and socialise with kids of all ages. The academy helped me find a passion for basketball which I still possess to this day. The standard of coaching at the TR Academy is extremely high and is one of the many reasons why it produces talented players that go on to play basketball at the highest level. Almost 20 years have passed and I am still playing basketball at the highest level in Ireland and some of my best friends are from the TR Academy.
The Academy was crucial to my skill development as a young basketball player. It prepared me extremely well for when it was time to start playing real basketball games in leagues. I also made a lot of friends from it, some of which I’m still close with to this day. The coaches were always very clear and patient with young players and made playing basketball welcoming, enjoyable and something I looked forward to every week.
I thoroughly enjoyed my underage basketball experience at the TR academy.
In my opinion the academy is one the best around! It’s always well organised, with some great coaches who have lots of knowledge of the game. I would highly recommend it to players of all skill levels.
My son, Ezekiel, joined this basketball academy a couple of years ago to learn how to play the game and I must say that he really enjoyed it. The training is fun and on point. He knows how to play basketball now and made lots of friends.
Amber joined TR Academy at the age of 4, under the attentive guidance of Praha and his team of coaches. Amber's confidence and energy soared through playing Basketball.
Amber is now 10 and she loves playing basketball with her friends in Tolka and learns so much each week while also having fun.

Schools Testimonials
Coach Praha teaches basketball in St. Brigid’s Girls School, Glasnevin. We have always known him to be very courteous when dealing with both staff and pupils. He is a very good at motivating the pupils and encouraging the quieter ones. Coach Praha has always been punctual and very accommodating if we needed to swap classes around. He is a great addition to our school community and we are very happy to have him teaching the pupils.
Coach Praha has been successfully teaching basketball skills to the pupils in our school, Bosco’s JBS, for the past few years. He is always friendly, patient and kind towards our young pupils. He is very fair and demonstrates each activity very well and always encourages the children to try their best while providing a positive environment in which everyone can learn and have fun. He ensures that all the children get involved, along with getting to know them, and creating a fun, supportive experience for everyone. Coach Praha is a constant source of energy and optimism and always promotes real team spirit and sportsmanship.
Praha has been coaching basketball in St. Canice’s Boys’ School to all age groups from junior infants to sixth class over the past number of years. Praha is well organised, punctual and has an excellent rapport with the pupils and staff. I often attend his coaching to learn from him, with his encompassing ability to have the boys listen attentively and learn seamlessly. His encouraging disciplined teaching challenges the pupils to achieve the best for themselves which has transferred to areas outside of basketball practice, learning skills to apply in everyday life. We are so blessed to have Praha coach here each week and look forward to many years of learning from him.
Coach Praha is a big part of Bosco’s sporting development these past 15 years.
He brings the highest professional coaching standard to our school and his classes are always a highlight for our students.
He understands the ethos of our school and fosters an enjoyment for sport and a resilience and determination in our pupils to try their best no matter what level they are at.
He delivers a well mapped out programme of classes in a professional and considerate manner, works closely with our teaching and SNA staff to include and nurture all our pupils and consistently delivers well-structured and fun basketball lessons.
It is an understatement to say that Bosco’s boys love basketball lessons with Coach Praha and they are always curious and excited to know when our basketball season will begin every school year.
Praha has delivered professional, fun and engaging basketball sessions for our students. There is an obvious skill development plan week on week and our children love attending.”
TR Academy came to our school St. Kevin’s B.N.S. for three years and did an after school basketball camp with our boys, in the junior and senior classes.
The boys loved it and it was great to see the boys develop their skills and confidence over the weeks. Instructors were organised and encouraging but firm and great at encouraging shy and anxious boys .It was a joy to see them participate and enjoy the activities and develop skills. The parents loved the camp as they could see how much the boys developed their skills and how they enjoyed each session and looked forward to the next one!
I would highly recommend TR Academy to any school or organisation.
Kind regards,
