Our sessions will feature female coaches working directly with participants, helping girls learn the game in an encouraging, welcoming and supportive environment. Basketball NSW's wider I AM A GIRL initiative also aims to create more opportunities for females throughout basketball, including playing, coaching, refereeing and leadership. WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING? Wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes and bring a water bottle. We'll take care of the basketballs and provide healthy snacks and water for participants during the program. Most importantly, come ready to have some fun and give it a go.
