Junior Basketball U8 - U20s
We participate in the competition that is organised by Brisbane Basketball Inc.
Under 8s, play in a non-competitive spirit with the emphasis being on introducing young players to basketball in an enjoyable and supportive environment. As a club, we encourage our Under 8s to have fun and at the same time to develop a sense of team spirit and responsibility.
Under 10s to Under 20s, we aim to provide an environment in which players can develop their skills and are encouraged to play at their full potential. Teams are therefore graded on the basis of each player's skills, behaviour and commitment to training & playing.

Our Coaching Approach - Community Coaching powered by volunteers
At West Brisbane Falcons, our coaches are passionate parent volunteers who make community basketball possible. Some are new to coaching, while others bring years of experience - but all share the goal of creating a positive environment for players to learn and enjoy the game.
We are a grassroots community club, and our program is designed for community sport, prioritising fun, teamwork and skill growth rather than elite-level coaching. To support our volunteers, we provide ongoing coaching development to help them grow and improve their ability to develop players.
We ask all parents to respect and support our coaches - they generously give their time to create opportunities for your children. If you’d like to help make a difference, we welcome new volunteers to join our coaching team. It’s a rewarding way to be involved in your child’s sporting journey and strengthen our community. For your child to be a part of a team and enjoy their basketball experience, please volunteer to take on the role of Coach or Team Manager.
Which age group is my child in?
Find your child’s birth year in the table below.
| Born in | Age group for Summer 2026/27 |
|---|---|
| 2021 or 2020 | Under 8 Mixed |
| 2019 or 2018 | Under 10 |
| 2017 or 2016 | Under 12 |
| 2015 or 2014 | Under 14 |
| 2013 or 2012 | Under 16 |
| 2011 or 2010 | Under 18 Boys |
| 2009 or 2008 | Under 20 Boys |
| 2011, 2010, 2009 or 2008 | GYL (Girls Youth League) |
A child born in 2019 or 2018 plays Under 10 in Summer 2026/27. A child born in 2017 or 2016 plays Under 12. A child born in 2015 or 2014 plays Under 14. Girls born between 2008 and 2011 may play GYL.
If the age group looks too old for your child, it is still right. Age groups go by birth year, not by how old your child is today, so a child can be two or three years younger than the number in their age group. Every club in the Brisbane Basketball competition uses the same birth years, so your child will be training and playing with and against children born in the same years as them.
Under 8 is a mixed competition. From Under 10 up, boys and girls play in separate divisions, and girls born between 2008 and 2011 play in GYL (Girls Youth League).
A player must play in their own age group or an older one, never a younger one.
Children born in 2022 or later are too young for the Under 8 competition this season.
Some age groups fill before registrations close. Go to the Register page and open More Info for the season — it lists which age groups are still open and which are at capacity. If your child’s age group is full, email Terri Adams, our Registrar, at Registrar@wbfalcons.com.au before you register.
Age groups above are correct for the Summer 2026/27 and Winter 2027 seasons. Last checked 28 August 2026.

Collecting your uniform
Shorts and singlets ordered through the club’s Playing uniform page are collected in person. They are not posted out.
You order and pay at the same time as you register, and collect at Centenary State High School, Jindalee — the same venue where we train.
We do not have a shopfront. Collection is run by volunteers giving their own time, so it happens on set days rather than on demand. Our Uniform Officer emails collection times out each week, and more often when the season is starting — watch for that email rather than turning up on spec.
If you have not had a collection email, you need a different size, or you cannot make any of the times offered, email Helen Preston, our Uniform Officer, at Uniforms@wbfalcons.com.au. Our committee are volunteers with jobs and families, so please allow a few days for a reply.
Training Venue
We are very fortunate to have a 2 court stadium to train on. Please keep it tidy, we have a great relationship with Centenary High and we hope it is something that continues for many years to come. Please respect the equipment, there is a no dunking policy at the sports & rec centre. Any backboard or ring broken by a player will be paid for by the player/parent if violating this policy.
Any players who are not respecting the equipment or are seen hanging from the net, ring or back of the backboard during training will be asked to leave the training session immediately, future incidents may result in their membership being cancelled.
The Training Venue Map shows how to find the courts and where to park.
Training Format
Before the season commences, we will run squad training where our coaches will assess the skill level of the players to determine what division and team they will play in for the season.
Once team placements have been finalised, we will move to team training. The team training may be held on a different day and time to the squad training as it will be dependent on the availability of the volunteer coach.
Junior training is run on a half court at Centenary State High School, Jindalee. Sessions are one hour, on a weeknight (Monday to Friday), with the earliest starting at 4.30pm. Earlier sessions usually go to the younger age groups.
Your coach will confirm your team’s training day and time at the start of the season. Training times are set by the volunteer coach, not chosen by families.
