Water Basketball is a sport developed by The Hobart Aquatic Centre. It involves two teams of 6 players, who pass the ball down the pool to their goal end, which is a hoop similar to basketball.
Each player wears flippers (and a cap to identify which team they are playing for.) Goals are scored as one or two points depending how far from the goals you are.
No you don't. Flippers, caps and balls are supplied free of charge on the evening.
Adults - male or female (young or old!)
Yes and no. Similar as you pass the ball around the pool, but it is non- contact.
If you can swim the length of the dive pool then you should be fine to play.
Games are held on most Thursday nights between 6:45pm and 9:30pm and seasons typically run for 10 weeks. The current roster runs through until December 2009.
An Introductory evening is typically held at the start of a new season but players can join any time during a season.
No. Individuals and teams can both sign up for a roster. If you don't have a full team we can easily add you to an existing team.
Yes. Tuesday nights at 7:30pm we have a practice night to develop skills, so this is a great night to come and see if you like the game.
