Basketball is the fastest growing sport in Australia. With the Spectres you can improve your game and connect with your community in a supportive, LGBTQIA+ friendly environment.
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
If you've never played basketball before, our weekly training sessions give you a great introduction to the sport. Our friendly members will take you through all of the basics, but mostly you can learn by watching and taking advice from your fellow team mates. In the end you'll get the chance to play a couple of scrimmage games.
And If you have played before, then that’s great. Come down and to get to know our club and meet your fellow participants.
​
DO I NEED TO BE GAY, LESBIAN OR LGBTQIA+ TO JOIN?
No, not at all - everyone is welcome. But please be aware that our club is an LGBTQIA+ friendly environment.
GENDER IDENTITY
Spectres Australia is a mixed-gender environment and people of any gender are very welcome to participate. Spectres Australia aims to provide a welcoming and safe space for all, including transgender, gender-diverse (TGD) and intersex people. Feel free to contact our Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth teams directly on Facebook Messenger if you have any specific queries.
