The Adelaide Community Basketball Association (ACBA) is a competitive junior competition ideal for players starting out, or for older, more experienced players who simply want to play with friends, or who don't want the full-on commitment of District basketball.

​

It is an excellent, well-organised competition that for starters is often the next step after Aussie Hoops or our Under 8 “Cubs” program.

​

The ACBA competition consists of two, separate 17 game seasons - Summer (Term 4 and Term 1) and Winter (Terms 2 & 3).

​

Age groups are Under 8/10 (mixed) and Under 12/14/16/18 (separate girls and boys comps in each age group).

​

In 2022/23 West Adelaide has fielded almost 30 teams in ACBA competitions. 

​

Players are welcome to join an existing team or join with your friends and make a new team - we will do our best to accommodate all requests.

​
