  • We recommend that first time players join our Saturday Skills program for at least one term before nominating for a competition team.

    Players who have not participated in our Saturday Skills program often struggle to meet the skills of their team mates and may drop out negatively impacting the team and the competition.

  • Yes. We accept Round 11 Fairplay vouchers for Summer Season Registration.

    Submit your voucher here to get a discount code you can use in the registration form.

  • We strive to get every player who registers into a team however the number of teams we can enter is restricted by Gold Coast Basketball.

    Players who register early get priority and if we are unable to put you in a team we will provide a full refund.

  • Due to restrictions on the number of teams we can enter in the GCJBL Summer Season, we are giving priority to returning Winter Season players.

    You can join our waiting list to be chosen for any available places in the Summer Season. Places are provided on a first-come-first-served basis.
