What's on at the
NEW BASKETBALL MENTOR PROGRAM FOR LOCAL GIRLS Thursday afternoons at the Ballina Indoor Sports Centre are the place to be with the new ‘One Hour of Girl Power’ basketball program, encouraging teenage girls to give the game a go! Ballina Basketball has launched the program teaching basketball skills and game sessions, to motivate teenage girls to pick up a basketball, learn new skills and fall in love with the game.
Futsal is back at the BISC
The popular summer Ballina Futsal Comp is back at the BISC for 2021/2022. Futsal is a dynamic, modified version of soccer played indoors with five players per team on a basketball sized court. It provides a fast speed of play for players of all abilities with lots of ball touches that will develop player's skills, speed, precision and vision as well as technical and tactical awareness. If you or your child aged 6 years or older loves a fun challenge, and is free Wednesday afternoons from 4pm, contact simon@ballinafutsal.com.au or visit justfutsalnsw.com/ballina-futsal-league
Participants are mentored by one of the nation’s best, Ms Lauren King. Ms King has played over 250 games in the Women’s National Basketball League and is the Regional Development Officer with Basketball NSW. “The program aims to give girls a taste of the different aspects of basketball in a safe, fun and pressure-free environment,” explained Ms King. “With the Women’s Basketball World Cup in Sydney next year, it’s an exciting time to grow basketball at a grassroots level. As the girls become more confident with the rules and skills they can compete in the mixed junior competition held on Tuesday afternoons at the Ballina Indoor Sports Centre. We are hoping that with increasing interest, we can establish a female competition in the future.”
