WA U16 Boys - Basketball Nationals!

Help us get the WA U16 Boys (Metro) to the Australian Junior National Basketball Championships! 

As the parents behind these 10 boys, their selection to represent Western Australia in basketball was a  great honour for both the boys and us.  These boys faced great challenges and trials over the last year to make it to this level of representation.   The team list is at the bottom of this page if you are interested in who was selected and which basketball association they come from!

We are facing immense financial pressure as a group as our individual financial circumstances make it difficult to fully financially support these talented boys.  This team has the furtherest to travel in Australia to get to the National Championships, which will be held in Kilsyth, Victoria (Australia) - on the opposite side of the country!  The  Junior National Basketball Championships take place from 2nd to 9th July 2016, and all the Australian states will be participating.  We are appealing to any one who has in interest in basketball or team sports to help us get them there!
 

Funds raised in this campaign will be used to assist with the payment of the boys travel, accomodation and ancillary costs to get them there.  We need to pay these costs by middle of June so that they can take off on the 30th June.

Any financial assistance towards this group of talented boys will be greatly appreciated by both players and families alike.    Any businesses donating funds will also recieve a laminated certificate which can be displayed at your premises, providing you register your postal address!  We will also be keeping all our donors up to date on the site with the boys progress once the Championships commence.
