Volunteers are the heartbeat of our basketball community, and their selfless contributions make the sport flourish at every level.

In this section, we celebrate the efforts of these unsung heroes and provide information on how you can get involved and make a difference in your local basketball community.

Whether it's organizing events, helping with logistics, or fostering a welcoming environment, your passion and dedication are invaluable, and we are here to provide guidance and assistance in your volunteering journey.

Together, we can build a stronger, more vibrant basketball community that fosters growth, sportsmanship, and inclusivity.

Thank you for being a vital part of the Basketball Australia family, and we hope this Support Section becomes your go-to resource for all things coaching, technical officiating, and volunteering.

Let's continue to work as a team, on and off the court, and take Australian basketball to new heights!

Why Volunteer

Most Community sport organisations operate as not-for-profit organisation which relies heavily on the generosity of volunteers to be able to deliver a full range of basketball activities.

Being a volunteer means you get involved in a great family environment while helping to deliver the sport of basketball to the Community.

The junior and youth clubs and associations across the country require the greatest amount of volunteers, and they are crucial to helping create a life long passion and engagement in the game.

We truly appreciate everything our volunteers do for us, and we acknowledge that our sport would not be the success story it is, without their help.

How can I volunteer ?

Some of the traditional avenues to become involved are in Officiating and Coaching.

A game cant go ahead without a referee and if you choose to go down that route you can receive support from mentors and experience staff and be involved in Basketball Competitions all year round.

If you want to become a coach, it can be one of the most rewarding volunteer roles around as you make a positive impact on a young players development in the game.

You might just want to become involved at your local club or association and fill one of the many crucial roles that happen week to week from scorer to Manager to Uniform organiser!
