If you are interested in purchasing any of the above please contact the GCCRBA office.

Aussie Hoops and Minihoops The Aussie and Minihoops programs have been running for the last couple of weeks and has seen over 70 combined registrations. We would like to welcome Dwayne Vale (former Cairns Taipan and Gullotta Orthodontics ISL Marquee Player) on board to run the Minihoops program. Dwayne has a long history of coaching Juniors and the GCCRBA has become the benefactor of his departure from Cairns. We have purchased new portable rings with a successful grant application, which now enables us to use court 1 and 4 at Carrara Stadium, for our miniball program We will continue to take new registration for both programs, however these must be done through the office as this facility will no longer be available on the Saturday mornings. Please fill in the forms available on the website and send back to [email protected] and follow the directions for payment.

Summer League Summer League is now underway, with 57 teams participating in the competition. There has been a massive increase in our numbers this Summer and it is encouraging to see so many new faces wanting to become involved in basketball. Just a reminder that if you want to join a Summer League Team you must do so through one of the 7 Gold Coast Clubs.
