Daredevils Basketball Academy provides young athletes with a structured and supportive basketball experience that includes weekly training, games, and a strong focus on skill development and confidence building.

Players are placed into age based teams and take part in a local basketball competition throughout both the summer and winter seasons. Our academy is designed to help athletes learn the game, improve their skills, build confidence, and enjoy being part of a team.

Weekly Training

All players attend one training session each week where they work on fundamental basketball skills such as dribbling, shooting, passing, footwork, and game awareness. Sessions are fun, energetic, and tailored to each age group to help players continue improving throughout the season.

Training schedule:

Sundays | 3:00pm–4:00pm
Location: Forbes Primary School

Game Days

Daredevils teams compete in the SAJBL (South Australia Junior Basketball League), with games played on Saturday afternoons throughout the season. Game times and venues vary each week depending on the competition schedule.

Players are placed into a team for the season, giving them the opportunity to build friendships, develop teamwork, and grow together on the court. Each team is supported by a Daredevils coach on game day, who guides the players, helps them apply what they’ve learned at training, and encourages them throughout the game.

Families are also an important part of game day, with parents occasionally helping out with simple roles such as scoring during matches.

Official Daredevils uniforms are required and are available to order via our website.

Please note there is a 6 week lead time, so we recommend ordering as soon as possible to ensure your child doesn’t miss the next production batch.

We do have very limited stock of spares that we can loan to you while you wait for your uniform to arrive.
