Hervey Bay Basketball Association is a vibrant sports club located in Hervey Bay, Queensland. The association offers both junior and senior basketball programmes and competitions, catering to players of all ages and skill levels.
One of the main goals of the Hervey Bay Basketball Association is to establish a dedicated basketball facility for the community. The association's members eagerly anticipate the approval of the proposed Hervey Bay Multipurpose Facility by the Fraser Coast Regional Council. This new facility will provide a permanent home for the club and enhance the basketball experience for all players and spectators.
To participate in the various competitions and basketball activities organised by Hervey Bay Basketball, individuals must register and pay online. Registration not only allows players, coaches, and volunteers to be a part of the club, but it also provides insurance coverage under Basketball Queensland's umbrella policy.
The club prides itself on being run entirely by volunteers who are passionate about the game of basketball. They encourage everyone to get involved, regardless of their level of experience. Many members initially knew nothing about basketball when their children started playing. By volunteering and helping out in various capacities, such as score bench, washing jerseys, or assisting experienced coaches, they were able to learn and contribute to the development of the sport.
The support and involvement of the community are crucial in sustaining the club's junior and senior basketball programmes.
