We currently have external teams competing at Norths Basketball in Crows Nest and at the Auburn Basketball Centre in Lidcombe. We will add teams at St Ives Sports Centre, Blacktown Basketball Association, & Hills Basketball Association later in 2026 or early 2027 to service our students in the Upper North Shore, Greater West & Hills areas.
Norths Basketball currently has U12 & U16 teams, playing on Fridays (U16) & Saturdays (U12) respectively. We plan to add a U14 team in Term 3 2026.
Auburn Basketball centre has U14 & U16 teams playing on Fridays and we plan to expand to two teams in each age group by end of 2026.
External teams train as part of regular class for U10 teams and in Game Skills classes for U12, U14 & U16 teams. North’s teams train Sunday evenings in Lane Cove and Auburn teams train Saturday afternoons in Lidcombe. Game Skills classes teach team play fundamentals through small-sided games and modified live play variations in 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5 settings.
We have added a U10 Game Skills & U12 Game Skills sessions on Fridays in St Ives to prepare players for U10 & U12 competition. Competition will also be held Fridays from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. starting in Term 3, 2026 at the St Ives Sport Centre.
