Boys' Basketball

Boys' Basketball

Boys Basketball at Westminster offers a supportive and inclusive pathway for students at every stage of their basketball journey. The program welcomes those learning the game for the first time as well as students aspiring to play at a higher competitive level. Training and games are structured to encourage confidence and teamwork while upholding the expectations outlined in the Co-curricular Code of Conduct.

A key strength of the program is the breadth of teams available. We field participation teams for students who are new to the sport or who simply enjoy playing with friends in a relaxed and positive environment through to our A and B squads which focus on developing technical skills, tactical understanding and a strong team identity.

Under the leadership of our Coordinator of Basketball, Jarryd Hoppo, the program has enjoyed outstanding success in 2026. Our Middle Years A team claimed the SAAS Division 1 Premiership while our Senior A team won the State title at the Schools Basketball State Championship. This achievement has earned our Senior A team a place in the Championship Division at the Australian Schools Basketball Championships on the Gold Coast at the end of the year, where they will compete for the National School title. These achievements reflect the growing strength and quality of Basketball across the School.

Our Senior teams typically include students from Years 10 to 12 while Middle Years teams comprise students in Years 7 to 9. All teams compete on Saturday mornings.

The Co-curricular Basketball Program is complemented by the opportunity for students in Years 8 and 9 to select Basketball Academy as a curriculum elective. This provides additional skill development along with tactical and game awareness within the School timetable.

For students seeking a higher level of competition, there is also the opportunity to represent Westminster at the Australian Schools Basketball Championships on the Gold Coast towards the end of Term 4. This experience provides motivated players with the chance to compete against some of the strongest School teams in Australia and further develop their game.
