Basketball Australia has launched the Program Finder, a new digital hub that consolidates basketball opportunities across the country into a single, easy‑to‑navigate destination.
The platform is designed for players, coaches, officials, volunteers and families, helping them locate programs that align with their personal interests, geographic location and stage of development.
Among the first offerings are the iconic Ford Aussie Hoops, the inclusive Walking Basketball initiative and the All Abilities Basketball program, each targeting different communities and skill levels.
While the initial rollout provides a solid foundation, the system is built to grow, with plans to add more programs and pathways as the ecosystem expands.
A Vision for a Connected Basketball Landscape
Sarah Skidmore, Basketball Australia’s Participation Programs Manager, says the launch represents a crucial step toward making basketball opportunities more accessible and interconnected nationwide.
She emphasizes that the Program Finder will serve as a single point of contact, simplifying the journey for anyone looking to get involved in the sport, whether as a participant, mentor or supporter.
The initiative underscores Basketball Australia’s long‑term ambition to create a unified gateway for the sport, fostering stronger links between grassroots activity and elite development.
