TERM 3 2022: The Bearcats ‘D-League’ is a junior competition designed to introduce children to playing basketball in a team environment whilst also improving their skills, having fun and gaining some enjoyable exercise in the process. 

​

This is usually the next step after Aussie Hoops, although some kids may start here. 

 

Games are played on a Saturday afternoon at Port Adelaide and participants are grouped according to age and ability around the U8, U10 and U12 age groups. Bearcats D-League also includes a training session each week, with the time depending on the age group. 

​

Children aged 5-11 years of age are welcome at any time to join an existing team or create a team with their friends from their school or existing club.
