New players are welcome at the Beachcombers. At the Beachcombers we take pride in welcoming players for all levels and experience. We are always taking expressions of interest to join a team. Please provide your expression of interest using the form below.

Please email us via info@beachcomberbasketball.club or on Facebook Messenger if you have any questions.
There may be places in existing teams available, however this is not always guaranteed.

At times, a new team can only be formed once there are sufficient players to do so. Where there are no places available, we will register your interest until such a time a position may become available. Please be aware that sometimes this can take a long time, but we do our best in promoting the club to create new teams. We encourage parents talking to the other parents when you register your child's interest to play.

Prep / Foundation
  • For players in Prep, we generally hold 'come and try' sessions once a year in term 3. This is a good introduction for kids who haven't played basketball before.
  • We run these sessions for about two weeks in the lead up to the new season in order to give kids some of the basics before starting their first competitive games.
  • It is important that some parents are prepared to put their hands up as a Team Manager and a Coach. Without people volunteering for these roles, starting teams is not possible. Team Managers and Coaches required a valid Working With Children's Check.

Grade 1 to Grade 6
  • We hold 'come and try' sessions in for grades 1 to 6 in term 1 each year.
  • We welcome you to contact us if you are looking to join an existing team, or to start your own. Email us via the contact page here or fill in your interest in the form below.

High School
  • We are looking to increase our high school participating and will be looking at how we can do this going forward.

Aussie Hoops
  • The Southern Peninsula Basketball Association also host the "Aussie Hoops" program, which is a development program for 5-10 year olds. It is all about learning to play basketball in a fun and safe environment.
  • More information on the Aussie Hoops program can be found here: sthpen.com.au/aussie-hoops and here: aussiehoops.basketball/

Requests for grouping of friends together in teams
  • We understand that there will be some preference from parents (and kids) to place friends together in teams, however please understand that we are not able to accept these requests. This is to ensure that children are placed in teams appropriate to their skill level.

When are the seasons?
  • There are generally two seasons each year - Summer and Winter. Teams play weekly, although there are breaks throughout due to school holidays, public holidays and representative competition. There is also a break in between seasons.

How much do uniforms cost and where to buy?

However, new teams should discuss with their team manager prior to ordering or purchasing in order to avoid issues with player numbers.

Register Your Interest  To Play
We appreciate your interest.

Please only register your interest if you are certain that you or your child wishes to join a team.

Forming teams can take a considerable amount of effort and withdrawing interest at a late stage can result in teams being unable to form at the last moment. We encourage you to ask questions before registering your interest. We appreciate your consideration with this.

Please note: We do not place children into teams before they start school. If your child has not started school yet, please wait until they start school to register interest. Prep teams are normally formed around term 3 in each year. We encourage kids yet to start school to join Aussie Hoops: sthpen.com.au/aussie-hoops

The club will contact you as soon as possible. If you wish to contact us to check on progress, please email the club at info@beachcombersbasketball.club or contact us via Facebook Messenger.
