Junior Basketball Academy
PCBA’s Junior Basketball Academy is where young players build foundations that last a lifetime. Led by BNSW Club Accredited Academy Coaches, the academy delivers tiered development – Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced – with position-specific skill sessions, shooting labs and specialist intensives.
Young ballers move from introductory programs like Rookies and Mini Ballers up to the advanced Chargers Academy levels and competitive play, developing coordination, confidence, basketball IQ and a genuine love of the game.
Basketball for Girls
PCBA is committed to growing the game for girls. With inclusive, welcoming programs such as Court Queens and mixed grassroots sessions, girls of every age and ability can develop their skills in a supportive environment, make friends, build confidence and progress all the way to representative basketball.
Whether your daughter wants to try basketball for the first time or aspires to wear Chargers colours, PCBA offers a clear pathway designed to keep girls in the game for life.
