The technology-driven training brand opens in Quezon City as it targets further growth in the Philippines and across Asia.
- Shoot 360 opens in Manila on September 17, 2026, as a new international location.
- Eight locations span across five countries including Canada and Taiwan.
- Asia plans foresee 200 locations by 2030, driven by strong basketball culture.
Shoot 360 has opened its first Philippine location at Robinsons Galleria Ortigas in Quezon City, bringing its technology-powered basketball training concept to a country where the sport has a substantial following. The facility opened on September 17, 2026, and marks the brand’s eighth international location across five countries: Canada, the Republic of Georgia, Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan. Its training platform combines coaching with interactive technology and performance data to help players measure their progress.
The Manila opening is part of a wider international expansion strategy. Shoot 360 expects Japan and the Philippines to each add at least two locations within the next year, while Hong Kong, Indonesia and Thailand are among the markets under consideration. The company has set a goal of reaching 200 locations open or in development across Asia by 2030, although achieving that target will depend on continued franchise development and execution across multiple markets.
The brand’s model combines basketball instruction with gamified training stations that track aspects of player performance. Participants can work on shooting, ball handling and other skills while receiving measurable feedback, creating a training experience that differs from traditional court practice alone. The company says the format serves young athletes, adults returning to the sport and families interested in basketball-based activities. Its Taipei location, for example, has nearly 1,350 members, with adults accounting for about 40% of membership.
Regional expansion is being led by Shoot 360 Asia CEO Sean Cheng and Chairman Richard Chang. Cheng previously founded and operated a basketball academy in Taipei, while Chang brings more than 30 years of experience helping Costco Wholesale establish and grow its presence across Asia. The company is also expanding in Canada, where four international locations operate in Calgary, Edmonton, Regina and Toronto, with another facility planned in Markham, Ontario.
As Shoot 360 enters new markets, maintaining consistent training standards and making operational information accessible to franchise partners will become increasingly important. The Knowledge Base feature available through Gorilla Dash can help franchise organizations centralize training materials, operating procedures and internal guidance for teams across multiple locations. For Shoot 360, Manila represents more than a new facility: it is a step in testing whether its technology-led training model can gain traction across a broader range of basketball communities in Asia.
