🏀 National Volunteer Week – 18–24 May 🏀
National Volunteer Week (18–24 May) is the perfect opportunity to recognise the incredible people who help bring basketball to life in communities across Australia.
From coaches and team managers to scorers, committee members, canteen volunteers and game-day helpers — volunteers are the backbone of our sport.
At Scorpions Basketball Academy, we know firsthand that without volunteers, there is no game day, no training nights, no scorebench support, no team communication and no pathways for our players. 💙🧡
The Australian Sports Commission’s Volunteer Map is back for 2026, giving the basketball community the chance to celebrate the people making a difference at clubs, associations and programs nationwide.
Any sport volunteer aged 18 and over can be recognised — whether they’ve dedicated decades to the game or simply lend a hand each weekend, every contribution matters.
Getting involved is easy:
🏀 Visit the Volunteer Map
🏀 Add yourself or nominate a volunteer
🏀 Share their story and celebrate their contribution to basketball

💙🧡 Providing pathways for everyone 🧡💙
