Weekly Social Basketball

Our Weekly Social Basketball is Sydney’s only LGBTQIA+ community-run basketball competition. It is fun, social competition in a low-pressure, inclusive environment. Players of all skill levels and all genders are welcome.

​

Skill level

• This event caters to all skill levels, however, if you're new to basketball we recommend attending one of our free weekly Train & Play sessions before trying this out.

​

How it works

• Everyone arrives and warms up together for approximately 10 minutes before games begin.

• Players sign up as individuals and are organised into teams on the night - either randomly or to ensure balance.

• Depending on the booking and numbers, games might be 5v5 full court, or 3v3 half court.

Schedule
Games are played on Wednesday nights between 6:30pm and 9:30pm.

Commitment
There is no ongoing commitment. You only play when you book in. Bookings open up to 30 days in advance. Bookings are done via revolutioniseSPORT.

Location
Green Square Public School
3 Joynton Ave, Zetland
A short walk from Green Square Station.

​

Note: The venue is an undercover outdoor concrete court

Game rules

• When we play 5v5, the game is made up of two 20 minute halves, there are no clock stoppages and standard FIBA rules are loosely followed.

• When we play 3V3, games run for 11 minutes with no clock stoppages. The team that scores gives up the ball.

• If a game is tied when time is up it is decided in a shootout.

• Games are self-refereed. Players are expected to call their own fouls honestly and respectfully. Over-calling or fishing for fouls is discouraged as it takes away from the flow and spirit of the game.
   

Fees
