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 from 7.30pm and seasons typically run for 10 weeks. 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.
