THE MORETON BAY SUNS - "FEEL THE HEAT"
At the Moreton Bay Suns, basketball is more than just a game — it’s a community.
We’re here to give kids, teens, and adults of all ages and abilities a place to play, learn, and grow both on and off the court.
As the officially affiliated Basketball Queensland and Basketball Australia association in the Moreton Bay region, we offer real pathways — from learning the basics through Aussie Hoops, to competing in elite junior and senior state competitions, and even stepping into coaching, refereeing, or score bench roles.
Our programs are built for everyone:
-
Young players discovering the sport for the first time
-
Families looking for a fun, safe, and social club
-
Athletes chasing their dreams at the highest level
-
Volunteers and officials developing valuable life and career skills
With accredited coaches, referees, and support staff, we make sure every player has the chance to improve, belong, and succeed. Whether you’re here for fun, fitness, friendships, or future opportunities — there’s a place for you at the Suns.
At the Suns, we’re not just building better players — we’re building stronger people and a stronger community.
