Welcome to Aussie Hoops, Basketball Australia’s official introductory program for 5-10 year olds and their families.

Aussie Hoops is a national program which provides an environment where children of all abilities can achieve on the court and reap the rewards of skill development, enhanced self-esteem, social co-operation and grassroots sports participation. Aussie Hoops introduces children to basketball in a structured and accredited environment that connects our game at the grassroots through to the elite level.

We’re excited to announce Altona Gators Basketball Club from Basketball Victoria as the Ford Aussie Hoops Centre of the Month! 🏀

Altona Bay Basketball Association has created a fun, inclusive environment where children and families can become part of the wider basketball community. Their dedicated coaching team, made up largely of female players, provides positive role models while helping participants develop their skills and confidence.
