Kempsey Basketball delivers the Aussie Hoops program 3 times per week at Melville High School.

Aussie Hoops is Basketball Australia’s official introductory program, providing a fun and inclusive Basketball experience for 5-12 year-olds that serves as an introduction to a lifetime of involvement in the game. In addition to promoting healthy and active lifestyles, the program serves as a platform for social development and inclusion – fostering stronger and more vibrant communities and individuals.

Aussie Hoops has been designed in three staged programs to ensure that for each age group, participants are participating in activities and games that are relevant to their physical and mental capabilities, which will increase in competitiveness until participants are ready to transition into local club competitions.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a girl or boy, aged 5 or 85, able-bodied or with a disability – Basketball is Everyone’s Game.

Basketball is an Olympic sport and the second most popular team sport for participation in Australia.
