WELCOME TO NORTHS BASKETBALL

Northern Suburbs Basketball Association Inc (Norths Basketball) is a community-based not-for-profit sporting association with a North Shore history extending over forty years. Norths Basketball has grown from a small group of interested basketball players in the early 1980s to a champion Association with over 5,000 registered playing members and a professional management team.

Norths Basketball is based at the North Sydney Indoor Sports Centre, a four-court facility, which we manage on behalf of the North Sydney Council. 

Norths Basketball forms an important part of the broader Crows Nest community, bringing 8,000+ people to the area every week.

The association aims to build a community renowned for its sportsmanship and provide opportunities for everyone to participate in basketball. NSBA is also committed to improving the level of physical activity of people on the North Shore and over 20% of court usage at our facility is made up of sports such as futsal, badminton, netball and volleyball.

Our current location was not always the modern facility that it is now. When Norths Basketball first started playing games at 36 Hume Street, it was affectionately known as “Rooftop” because it was an open-air basketball facility that had been built on top of the Hume Street carpark.

We have evolved from being a hirer of those courts (and many school courts before it) to managing the facility under a long-term lease.

Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world, with 213 countries playing the game and more than 1,000,000 Australians playing.
