Our Story and What Drives Us
Surgebee was born from one simple idea: basketball should feel open, light, and easy to try for anyone. When our founder moved to Abu Dhabi, they often noticed people standing by the court saying things like, "I'm not fit enough," or "I'm afraid the coach will be too tough." After a relaxed game with friends and a joke about having a "top court" kind of day, that small moment slowly turned into a clear plan — to create a basketball school where everyone could arrive exactly as they are and never feel judged, overpushed, or out of place.
At the start, Surgebee was tiny: just one court and a small circle of curious players. That first group looked nothing like a typical basketball academy. One person had never even held a basketball before, another was a busy parent who simply wanted to move more and clear their mind after work, and a quiet teenager was trying to reconnect with the sport and enjoy it again. Instead of loud commands and exhausting drills, our founder slowed everything down, used everyday language, and treated every mistake as a normal, expected part of learning. There was plenty of laughter, many missed shots, and countless "let's try again" moments — and from all of this, the true spirit of Surgebee slowly appeared.
From there, our basketball family began to grow on its own. New players joined us, and we invited coaches who share the same mindset: stay patient, stay kind, and support people honestly. Our coaches are not on the court just to shout instructions from a distance. They stay close, break each movement into simple stages, and repeat them until they feel natural and comfortable in your own body. Whether you are aiming for a stronger shot, more confident dribbling, quicker footwork, or simply a more active week in Abu Dhabi, we shape the training around your daily life instead of forcing you into one strict program.
Today, Surgebee feels less like a formal academy and more like a warm basketball community. Children discover that missing the basket and trying again is completely normal. Adults finally start the basketball journey they have postponed for years. Friends and families meet on our courts and turn their practices into a weekly ritual they truly look forward to. For us, success is not only a powerful jump shot or the perfect score on the board. The real win is that quiet moment when someone leaves the court thinking, "I never thought basketball could be for me, but now it finally feels possible." That feeling is the reason we teach — and we would be happy to help you begin your own basketball story here in Abu Dhabi.
