Inside the facility

“Train, shoot, dunk, party.”

Blank Slate Hoops in Bennetts Green is Newcastle's multi-purpose basketball facility. The floor is a cushioned polymer tile system built to FIBA standards — the same surface you'll find in pro-level training environments — and the space is designed to cater to small groups and individuals for skill development, shooting coaching and general court use. From Term 4 the facility launches 'Lil Ballers', a Pre-Kindy weekly Learn to Play program for preschoolers, and runs Jam Session Birthday Parties with the rim adjustable down to 7ft so even the smallest party-goers can dunk. Blank Slate Hoops sits inside the broader Blank Slate facility, which also offers photo studio hire and events venue hire.

The shooting machine on their floor

The Dr. Dish.
Same model. Same shots. Yours.

Blank Slate Hoops runs a Dr. Dish shooting machine in its Friday Morning Group and 1-on-1 sessions, plus uses it as a passing distributor for the U14 Boys group. The machine doesn't just rebound — it doubles as a coach for drills that need a consistent feeder while the coach corrects form on the player.
