Q: Can my child play in multiple age groups?
A: Yes, provided they have the necessary skills and experience. The club has autonomy over which players are nominated for teams and who participates in second games.
Q: When & Where will training be held?

A: All Junior games are held on Saturday’s between 10:00am and 6:00pm at various venues on the North Side of Brisbane including Mango Hill, Bray Park, Brendale, Albany Creek and Ferny Grove. Senior games are held on Sunday afternoons at Ferny Grove, Albany Creek or Bray Park.
Q: Who Coaches the Teams?
A: Our club relies on the generosity and participation of volunteers. We strongly encourage parents and older siblings, past players, and those with a passion for developing the next generation, to get involved in coaching. The club provides support to their coaching groups.

See FAQ below regarding our child safety program which provides information relating to screening of club volunteers, including coaches.
Q: Can my child access Representative Basketball opportunities?
A: The Club is not yet aligned with a Basketball Queensland (BQ) affiliated association. Club Players may register and trial with other associations, if they have a desire to play at a representative level. The Club aims to join the BQ Junior Representative pathways soon and are actively working towards this. In the meantime, the Club will endeavour to offer opportunities through club competitions, including selection for All-Star teams, additional training sessions, and higher-level games.
We are committed to supporting all players and ensuring they have access to the best development opportunities.
Q: Are you Basketball Queensland Affiliated?
A: Mango Hill Mavericks are not currently affiliated with Basketball Queensland. This will not affect your playing experience in any way, but means that we are currently unable to offer representative pathways for players who are interested in competing at that level.
Q: Do you have a Child Safety Program in place?
A: At Mango Hills Mavericks Basketball Club, the safety and well-being of our players is our highest priority. We are dedicated to providing a secure, supportive, inclusive and positive environment for children to play and grow in the sport of basketball. We understand the importance of safeguarding the children in our care, and we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of child safety.
