At Basketball ACT, our Participation department is dedicated to growing the game by providing a wide range of programs that cater to all ages and skill levels. Whether you're just starting out or returning to the sport, we offer inclusive, engaging programs that focus on building skills, confidence, and a love for the game in a supportive environment.
At Basketball ACT, technical officials play a vital role in ensuring our games are played fairly, safely, and according to the rules. Referees take the court to manage the flow of the game, make calls, and ensure player safety. Supporting them are scoretable officials who track scores, fouls, and timing, as well as statisticians who record detailed game data using professional software.
Basketball ACT’s Performance Pathways support athletes and coaches from grassroots to elite levels, with junior programs like Futures, Association, and State Teams providing high-level coaching and competition, and senior pathways through Premier League, Canberra Gunners, and Canberra Nationals, alongside accredited courses and mentorship for coaches.
The Canberra Gunners and Canberra Nationals are Basketball ACT’s elite teams, competing in the NBL1 East, one of Australia’s top semi-professional leagues. They showcase ACT’s best talent and provide a pathway to national and professional basketball.
