It’s not just about shooting, passing or winning games.
It’s about building character.
It’s about discipline when no one is watching.
It’s about effort even when we’re tired.
It’s about respect for teammates, opponents and the rules.
It’s about learning to lose with dignity and win with humility.
It’s about developing leadership, responsibility and commitment.
Basketball is the tool.
Developing people is the real goal.

That's correct, we do have one of the BEST. Appreciation to JNR NBL - Sunshine Coast Slammers for the mention.

🔥 MEET THE COACHES! 🔥
Introducing Coach Diego Maroja Falcão – Head Coach, Sunshine Coast Fire Basketball

We are incredibly excited to welcome the Sunshine Coast Fire Academy into our Junior NBL program — and even more excited to introduce their Head Coach!

🌏 Coach Diego is an internationally renowned basketball coach with 20+ years of experience across Africa, Japan, and Brazil. He has also coached with the Brazilian Olympic Basketball Team, bringing world-class expertise straight to our Sunshine Coast kids.

Based at Peregian Beach College, Coach Diego leads the Fire Academy and will be working alongside the Slammers throughout our JNR NBL competition.

⭐ Get to know Coach Diego!

🧡 Favourite thing about coaching kids?
“At this age, basketball isn’t our main priority — it’s simply the reason we get to work with them.
What truly matters are life lessons, discipline, conduct, and values.
The most rewarding part is adding something to their lives they’ll remember forever — far beyond basketball.”

🏀 Favourite basketball players?
“Shaquille O’Neal and Magic Johnson.
But the greatest of all time? Michael Jordan — basketball became famous because of him.”

⚽ Favourite sporting team?
“Botafogo-PB, my hometown team in Brazil! Football (soccer) is our biggest sport culturally.”

🍽️ Favourite food?
“Easy — Brazilian churrasco (barbecue) and feijoada! Nothing beats our traditional dishes.”

We’re thrilled to have Coach Diego and the Fire Academy as part of our growing basketball community.
Welcome to the Slammers family! 💙💛
