The 2016 South Sudanese Australian Summer Slam took over Eagle Stadium in Werribee, Melbourne from December 16-18 and built on the 13-plus years of tournament history that has made it one of the most exciting events in Australian basketball.

Coach Steve organised the inaugural Battle of the Burbs which saw communities from Fitzroy, Werribee, Prahran, North Melbourne and Richmond take over the Richmond public housing estate for an afternoon of 3-on-3 and community building.

Children and young people attending Helping Hoops programs may come from migrant or refugee backgrounds, living in inner-city public housing estates, have an intellectual disability or special needs, or may be socioeconomically disadvantaged in some way.
Helping Hoops aims to build self-esteem, provide a sense of belonging and community, aid social cohesion, instill discipline, develop goal setting and leadership skills, and promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
