Late Night Basketball

** Please check our City of Gosnells Youth Instagram page for the latest information on whether this program will run during inclement weather **

Get ready to lace up your sneakers and join us at our Late Night Basketball program. In this program, participants can sharpen or unleash their basketball skills while having a blast making memories on the court.  

Whether you're a seasoned 'baller' or just starting out, the Late Night Basketball program caters for all skill-level players in mind and provides a fun and safe court for:

• allowing all participating players to express themselves and try new moves in a supportive and inclusive environment; 
• skill-building to grow as a player and build confidence on and off the court;
• the freedom of free play, as players dribble, shoot, and dunk to their heart's content; and
• players to showcase their skills, learn from other players and have a ball participating in half-court games. 

Aside from bringing a water bottle and wearing appropriate attire, such as sportswear and closed shoes (ideally one with non-marking soles), players participating in this program are required to bring their A-game to each session - a love for the game, enthusiasm, a positive can-do attitude, as well as fair play, respect and integrity. 

We look forward to seeing participants hit the court at our Late Night Basketball program.
