Breaking down barriers, one basket at a time
Who We Are
Footprint
Helping Hoops’ mission is to use basketball to inspire, empower and support children and young people.
We provide free community-based programs that instil values and skills that benefit participants in their everyday lives. Through this we aspire to create stronger, more cohesive communities while working for equality for the next generation of Australians.
More than basketball. Real impact in the community.
We deliver free basketball programs for young people who face barriers to participation. Through every session, we create safe, inclusive spaces where participants build confidence, develop life skills, and feel a true sense of belonging.
