Our program will be inclusive of youth in our community and provide the opportunity for 200 players to develop their basketball skills. Currently what stops participation by our youth is the high registration fees on top of uniforms and equipment. Our program would encourage more under 8's and under 10 girls and boys to participate in basketball. We also see a high number of girls quit at under 16 level so we would love to encourage more girls to continue to participate in that age group. Our aim is to improve girls participating in basketball.
When kids play sports, they develop skills beyond the basketball court. Through healthy competition, kids can discover their personal best, have fun and be a part of a team. Modelling fairness, cooperation, and hard work, our volunteer coaches recognize achievements large and small and understand that winning isn’t just about the score. Our program will celebrate multiculturalism, female participation in sport and youth. We will target 200 kids in key age groups in our community to allow youth the opportunity to develop as players and within their community.

Great project to integrate the younger children and encourage the older kids during a very important phase of the adolescent years - hopefully get some mentoring happening as well.
Great initiative
Great initiative to afford all the opportunity to be involved in team sport
Great club that provides an excellent club and team atmosphere across a great range of ages. Super initiative worthy of support.
Anything that gets kids involved in sport is a winner!! It is such a valuable teaching tool for life skills. I would love to see this happen.
Terrific initiative. Sports (especially team-based) are essential for holistic development in kids, and safer, happier communities.Very best of luck!
As a coach of U12 girls I think this is a fantastic idea & the girls will benefit through being part of a team sport.
Sport shouldn’t be for thoses with money we need to ensure all children are included in sport regardless of their background...an inclusive Communtiy makes for a happier place to live 💗💋
