Look a little different? Introducing Mini Hawks Aussie Hoops!

Why the change?

Aussie Hoops is the Basketball Australia national beginners program. Being an Aussie Hoops centre brings many benefits, including:

  • Aussie Hoops singlet and ball, to make kids feel part of the team
  • Free access to the Mojo Sport App – a great tool to streamline communications and provide on line coaching and activities
  • Access to Basketball Australia coaching resources and grants to improve and grow our program

What will be different?

Mini Hawks Aussie Hoops will retain all the key ingredients that made Mini Hawks so popular:

  • Venue and session times will be the same (except Tuesday 4:15pm will now be an All Girls session)
  • Ash and Bella will still be leading our wonderful group of young coaches
  • You will receive your Aussie Hoops starter pack (personalised singlet & ball) directly from Aussie Hoops

I am a returning Mini Hawker. Do I have to purchase a Starter Pack?

We encourage all term two participants to purchase a starter pack so we get everyone in uniform and feeling part of the team.
If you opt not to purchase a pack, that is OK. Your child will still have the complete Mini Hawks Aussie Hoops experience.

What next?
