There are no restrictions on who can shoot the ball and players are not limited to certain areas of the court. That means your child always has an opportunity to be where the action is. Plus, you’ll stay comfortable and dry watching them play indoors.
Players are formed during the first week of each season at a Muster Day. This makes it easier than ever for new and returning players to join a team.
Our seasons run Summer (Terms 4 & 1) and Winter (Terms 2 & 3). When you attend Muster Day and join a team that is a commitment to play for both terms of the season.
There are two components to basketball fees. Term fees cover court fees, administration, and referee costs. An annual fee is also paid to Basketball NSW for insurance and related costs. View the fee breakdown here.

The U19 boys enter their own teams with the number of representative players on a team capped at 2-3 (depending on the size of the competition). Every team must have a delegate and two duty referees to nominate.

Coaches in the domestic competition are generally a parent of the team. Domestic competition aims to allow all players to participate. Coaches in this competition are expected to sub equally and facilitate sportsmanship. No coaching expertise is required but opportunities to develop coaching skills are available through the year.
Find out more about coaching courses here or contact us to learn on the job.
Parents and guardians of the players are required to do bench duty during their child’s game. The referees cannot start a game until two people are on the bench, preferably one from each team. Score bench education sessions happen at the beginning of each year and are regularly held online by BNSW. The referees are also happy to help you learn during the game.
All junior and senior players in our domestic competition are invited to attend representative trials. These take place in the second half of the year. Players from other Associations are also welcome.
Weekly skills sessions happen during Term 3 each year. These are not team specific and allow all social players to develop fundamental skills.
SBA runs holiday or weekend skills clinics throughout the year. We encourage all players to attend these and build their skills.
Representative teams train weekly and players will be advised of their training slot after teams are selected.
We’re always looking for keen people to help make SBA a better place. Use your existing skills or learn something new. Join the Board, focus on fundraising or don the Tigers mascot – there’s something for everyone!
A huge thank you to our sponsors who support the Tigers in so many ways. Be sure to give them some love next time you need a local business.
