Welcome to all things basketball for the best players at Eastside.... OUR GIRLS!
This page will give you all the information you need to get your basketball moving in the girl's space.
At Eastside we are super keen to create a competition for our female players no matter what age or skill level they are. Being involved in team sports has so many life-long benefits and at Eastside we are working hard to kick-start that journey by creating a space where players will have fun, make new friendships, learn the game of basketball and be able to compete in a positive and supportive environment.
Unsure where to start?

New to the sport of basketball?
Whether you're 6 or 16 years old, if you haven't played basketball before, we still have a space for you to join a team, learn and play with us!
At Eastside Basketball we understand that children grow and develop at different rates. As such we have created a flexible competition that allows for these differing develomental levels. We have different divisions within our girls competitions, where age ranges are used as a guide and natural skill levels are used to determine the division that your daughter will start in.
NOTE: If your player is aged between 5yrs and 10yrs old, you may also want to check out our "Ford Aussie Hoops" program for boys and girls, designed as a basic introduction to basketball through structured learning and play, instead of competitive games.
Saturday Girls - Purple Division

If your daughter is not a confident player, but keen to give basketball a try, then this is the group for you.
Our Saturday Girls Purple division has a lovely group of girls, parents and coaches, who are new to basketball or have played one or two seasons.

Youth Girls
Age Group Guide: 13yrs -23 yrs
Skill Level: Some experience playing basketball, through to high level representative players
When: Tuesday evenings
Our Tuesday night Youth Girls competition has a range of teams and players across ages and skill levels. The teams and divisions in this competition are structured around skill levels rather than age, grouping together teams of similar abilities to create a fun and fair competition.
Some players only have only limited experience in playing basketball, some have never played a competitive game other than in school. But there is always a space for these players to get into the game and we welcome any girls wishing to try something new by playing basketball.
In the upper teams of our competition, we have senior players who have played in representative teams for Eastside Basketball. The games are fast and competitive, but always fun and positive for everyone involved.
Games are played on Tuesday evenings between 5.30pm and 9pm.
