Our academy welcomes players of all skill levels, ages 6 and up.

If you’re new to basketball, you’re also invited to come and try a training session for free to see what the Daredevils experience is all about.

FAQS

  • The Academy is led by Tamara and Paula.

    • Tam brings extensive coaching experience from Sturt and state-level programs, with a strong vision for player development and a passion for supporting female athletes. She will also shape the Daredevils style of play.

    • Paula ensures smooth operations and strong support for athletes and families. She is a champion for female inclusion, both in sport and in professional pathways.

    Together, they’re supported by a broader coaching team, with potential involvement from NBL1 players and a clear commitment to female development.

  • The Daredevils Academy will be entering teams into the SAJBL. The Summer Season starts on the 25th October 2025, and complete season dates are available on the SAJBL website.

    In addition, there may be opportunities for those who are interested to take part in local tournaments throughout the year.

    SEASON DATES

  • No - if you are playing with the Daredevils Academy, you do not need to register separately on the SAJBL website. One of the benefits of being part of an academy is that we take care of all competition registrations for you.

    Your Academy membership fee will cover the cost of registration, so you can simply focus on supporting your child and enjoying the season.

  • To help accommodate everyone’s schedules, we offer two different training sessions each week.

    We encourage athletes to attend the session that matches their age group, but if that time doesn’t suit your family, you’re more than welcome to come along to the alternative session!

    Training Options:

    Wednesdays: 4:30pm–5:30pm
    Ages: Under 12 & Under 14
    Location: The REPAT (Tim Hughes Stadium – 216 Daws Rd, Daw Park)

    Thursdays: 5:00pm–6:00pm
    Ages: Under 8 & Under 10
    Location: Springbank Secondary College (267 Daws Rd, Pasadena)

    These sessions focus on skill development, confidence, and teamwork - all in a fun, supportive environment.

  • No - we are committed to maintaining girls-only competition options, so there is no requirement for girls to play against boys.

    For those who would like the opportunity to play in mixed competition, this is something we can also look to offer, provided there are enough players interested in doing the same.

  • Our focus right now is on female athletes, but we plan to expand to include boys’ teams in the future. This will also make things more convenient for families with both boys and girls who want to play.

  • For now, existing Pink Devils players can continue wearing their existing uniforms for games. New players who don’t yet have a uniform will be provided with bibs until the new Daredevils uniforms are ready. In the meantime, please wear white or pink tops and shorts with no pockets for training and games.

    We’re excited to share that our new Daredevils branded uniforms are on the way and will be available to order in November. The expected lead time is approximately three weeks from the date of order.

    We’ll let all families know as soon as orders open.

  • The cost to play with the Daredevils Academy is $420 per season. This includes 15 games each season, a dedicated coach per team, and a weekly academy-level training session. Uniforms are an additional cost.

    In addition, there is a mandatory fee that all players must pay directly to Basketball Australia to cover insurance. This is approximately $34.47 per year.
