hooked on hoops - ‘Empowering girls to thrive’

Gold Coast Celtics Basketball Club are on a mission to build an inclusive community that supports girls in sport, and encourages girls to achieve their personal best through the power of community basketball. Sport is powerful - its benefits for physical, mental health and well-being are well documented - but for young girls, the statistics show that sport can be daunting.

We have developed a ‘Girls Only’ program delivered over a series of workshops. Our program is about introducing & developing girls basketball skillsets, having fun and getting to know the basketball community.

We want to celebrate Girls on the Gold Coast. We know that confidence often means having a strong community behind you.

Building a future for girls through basketball.
