BASKETBALL CLUB
GENERAL
High Performance Program
What's the difference between the High Performance Program and the Basketball Club?
There are two different options if you wish to play basketball with Sydney Uni:
High Performance Program
The High Performance (HP) program is an elite-level program designed for athletes wishing to represent Sydney Uni at the intercollegiate level. The HP squad is selected through trials that take place at the beginning of each calendar year.
Generally, the HP program only has about 15 athletes in each of the men's and women's programs, with many of them holding Elite Athlete Program (EAP) scholarships.
You can read all about the program structure and events that HP athletes compete in, by clicking here.
Sydney Uni Basketball Club
The club allows students to play on campus in a more friendly and social environment, with well over 100 members in 2022. There are no selections to join the club.
Becoming a Sydney Uni Basketball Club member (for $60) allows access to all things basketball on campus. Being a member will provide you with:
Access to 2x weekly scrimmages (Tuesdays/Thursdays)

I am new to basketball, where can I learn to play?
