Free junior basketball while our town gets back on the court

With local indoor facilities out of action, Inland Taipan Social Basketball gives kids a safe, fun Saturday morning comp at the outdoor rainbow court — weather permitting.

Three age groups — more players, fewer draws

We run 10 & under, 14 & under, and 18 & under so Saturdays stay manageable and every division has a full pool of kids.

10 & under

Primary ages. Mixed skill welcome — we keep it fun and moving.

Teams need 8 players + one adult coach.

14 & under

Tweens and early teens. One division keeps Saturday mornings simpler.

Teams need 8 players + one adult coach.

18 & under

Teens through to 18. Same free community comp, outdoor court.

Teams need 8 players + one adult coach.

Where we play

Saturday mornings at the local outdoor court (rainbow court), weather permitting. Bring water, hat, and matching team shirts.

What you need to know

  • No fees — the comp is free for families.
  • Matching shirts — each team arranges their own kit colour.
  • Saturday mornings — draws published before each round.
  • Parent helpers — One parent per team helps each game — one assists the ref, the other team supplies the scorer.
  • Weather call by 7:30 AM on game day if conditions are unsafe.
  • No club insurance — guardians and coaches accept responsibility (see disclaimer).
