Palm Beach basketball competition
Remember when shooting hoops was just fun? Before it became 'exercise'. This is that again. Grab 6 to 8 mates, we sort the court, the ref, the fixtures and the ladder. All you bring is shoes.
What you get every week
One night a week of the thing you used to do for free after school. Turn up, the court is booked, the ref is ready and your team is waiting.
Refs who make it fun
Beginner-friendly referees who coach as you go rather than lecture.
Tunes for every game
Music while you play. Game nights feel like a night out, not a PE class.
Prizes
For the winners, and for the most social team in the comp.
One simple team fee
Pay once for the season. No weekly fees, no cash on the night.
'Get Playing' concierge
A real human to talk to by phone or text, before and during the season.
Local comp manager
A Gold Coast manager runs your comp and is there on game night.
Pick the level that fits your team
Mixed and Mens comps both run at Palm Beach, each with a level to suit how much you have played.
Super Social
For beginners and casual players. Have not picked up a basketball since school? Perfect. Refs explain the rules as you go and nobody takes the score too seriously.
Social
For teams with a season or two behind them. For teams with a season or two behind them. Quicker ball movement and tighter games, still friendly.
Not sure? Most new teams start in Super Social and move up.
One fee for the whole season
Your team pays once for all 12 weeks. Nothing to pay at the venue, no surprise fees. With a squad of 6 to 8 players (5 on court) it works out to about $14 to $16 per player a week, and teammates pay their share in the app so the captain never chases money. Playing solo? Individuals pay $225 for the season.

The atmosphere is relaxed but still competitive enough to keep things fun. Games run smoothly, the refs are fair, and the whole event is well-organised each week. It’s a great way to stay active and enjoy the game. Great option if you’re a seasoned player or just looking to shoot some hoops with mates. Highly recommend!

Court time goes fast
Most people don't quit playing. They just sort of stop, and a few seasons go by, and then it's "next year". This is next year. Palm Beach runs a limited number of teams per division, so if you're thinking about it, this is the bit where you stop thinking.
