The Gullotta Orthodontics Junior Basketball Competition is THE PLACE to play basketball on the Gold Coast!  Based at the Runaway Bay Indoor Stadium and Coomera Indoor Sports Centre, boys and girls from all over the Gold Coast enjoy a weekly club basketball competition which caters for any skill level.

Registrations are now open for the upcoming 2018 Term 2 U9 Miniball season which commences on Saturday 5th May.  This competition is restricted to boys and girls born in 2010 or later.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you register right away.  Many players missed out in the Winter season as Club’s teams were filled in record time.  Our now not so little association is experiencing tremendous growth.  Our clubs are run by volunteers, most who have demanding day jobs so this growth increases the strain on them in preparing for the upcoming season.  A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to get a season prepared so the best way you can support your club is to register right away.

Our clubs are always looking for more volunteers, whether it be coaches, team managers or assisting with club admin.  Volunteers are what make all of this happen so if you have an hour or two a week you could give please get in touch with your club and record areas you can volunteer form in the player registration form.

Who do we play for?

North Gold Coast Seahawks Basketball have a number of member clubs servicing the entire northern and central Gold Coast region.  Players are free to play for any club they choose, as they may have friends that already play, but we try to direct players to clubs based on the school that they attend.  Movement between clubs requires a Clearance to be completed and is generally done between seasons unless extenuating circumstances exist.

See the table here to see which club your school is aligned to.

The North Gold Coast Seahawks QBL program received a major boost this week with the announcement of a partnership with Coomera Anglican College (CAC).  The deal marks new territory for the North Gold Coast club as its first sponsorship agreement with a school.

Coomera Anglican College Business Manager David Dobbie is extremely pleased to be adding basketball to the College’s range of sporting strategic partnerships.  “In order to enhance the opportunities for our students, the College is entering into a number of partnerships with high quality sporting organisations, that support the College’s sporting Academy programmes, and we see North Gold Coast Seahawks as one of the leaders on the Gold Coast”.

The College has been fielding junior teams in the Seahawks competition for many years which has resulted in much improved results for the College’s teams in their inter-school APS competitions.  More recently the College has launched a basketball academy, showing firm intent to further develop their overall basketball program.

“The addition of the QBL Program to the Seahawks Development Pathway provides extra opportunity for Coomera Anglican College players to compete at the highest level in the State” explained the College’s Head of Sport Anthony Hall.  “We have many Coomera Anglican College players already representing Seahawks in the junior ranks and we hope to see some of them going on to represent Seahawks in the QBL in years to come”.

The support of the College gives the Seahawk’s maiden QBL campaign a shot in the arm, increasing the club’s capacity to put a highly competitive product on the floor.  Seahawks General Manager Kerran Evans is thrilled to have the College on board in 2018.  “Coomera Anglican College make up a large contingent of our Seahawks family.  We’re wrapped to have the school supporting us in our leap to the next level”.

The club is busily in the process of assembling both the men’s and women’s squads ahead of the pre-season, while also continuing to seek out support from the local business community.  “With excess of 1500 members, our Seahawks family delves deep in to the North Gold Coast region, presenting a great opportunity for business” Evans explains.  “Not only does partnering with us give great reach in to our local community, the QBL competition covers the entire State stretching as far north as Cairns, with clubs dotted all the way along the coastline”.
