Aussie Hoops is a Basketball Australia initiative for kids aged 4 to 12. Its focus is on participation and enjoyment, but also provides a logical pathway into more serious competition. Following is a description of the four components to the Aussie Hoops program. For more information, please contact the

Fun Time
BASA Junior Development Officers run free basketball clinics at primary schools during school time. These clinics are a fun introduction to basketball and are suitable for kids who have never played before.
Play Time
Forestville runs a 6 week block of 1 hour weekly clinics at primary schools or at Wayville. The clinics involve a series of fun games aimed at developing players interest in the sport.
Game Time
Game Time is an introduction to competitive basketball. Participants are divided into teams and play short matches, in which they are taught the rules of the game.
Big Time/Miniball
BASA run a formal interschool competition on Monday-Thursday afternoons at Wayville. Forestville can provide coaches for new and existing teams, and can help set up combined teams for schools that don't have enough players to field a team.
