what is hd academy?

At HD Academy, we believe basketball is more than just a sport, it’s a powerful tool for building connection, confidence, and opportunity.

As a benevolent not-for-profit organisation, our mission is to make basketball accessible to everyone by removing barriers and creating pathways for people of all backgrounds and abilities.

Our programs are designed to be inclusive, available for all, and community-driven, supporting:

• People from all backgrounds

• Participants of the NDIS and individuals living with disability

• Specifically tailored programs for both male and female athletes

• Young athletes requiring extra assistance to travel and participate in competitions outside their local area.

Through our development pathways, outreach initiatives, and community partnerships, HD Academy offers more than just basketball training. We create environments where people build resilience, form genuine friendships, grow their confidence, and discover their potential.

Whether you’re a player, parent, coach, community group, or supporter, there’s a place for you at HD Academy. Together, we’re using basketball to inspire hope, drive inclusion, and strengthen communities across our region and beyond..
