Our mission is to explore, assist and educate young basketball athletes ages 7-17 in the Northern Territory who have a desire to take their game to the next level. We are a not-for-profit sporting organisation that explores and assists Basketball Athletes ages 7-17 in the Northern Territory who have a desire to take their game to the next level and wanting to put their game on notice on a National stage through basketball tours, carnivals & camps in Australia or overseas. Creating opportunities for Northern Territory Basketball Athletes is our main focus. This will be a successful pathway to enhance their performance in the sport. Other states have the opportunity to travel every weekend due to their representative system and play against some of the best teams in their allocated states. We rely on sponsorship, fundraising, grants & donations to assist with their expenses, which goes towards our Northern Territory Basketball Athletes and coaching staff to assist with the expenses involved in attending tours, carnivals & camps.
