For our youth to thrive and achieve success, it is essential to create a safe and supportive environment where they can form lasting memories—memories that will inspire them to bring positive change to their communities. A thriving community is one that invests in its young people, offering them opportunities, pathways, and jobs. Basketball has the power to transform lives, and it’s our responsibility to provide a platform that fosters growth, connection, and exploration. By doing so, we are not just developing individuals, but also building a stronger, more vibrant community for all.

By delivering high-quality service and cultivating strong, meaningful relationships, we create an atmosphere of trust and collaboration. At Pioneers House, we prioritise a safe and inclusive environment where all are protected and respected. A positive environment nurtures the soul and drives us to serve our community with care, commitment, and purpose. We take pride in ensuring that everyone who steps through our doors feels supported and valued.

For our team to succeed, we must invest in grassroots development, offering clear opportunities and pathways for growth. For our community to thrive, we must nurture and empower our youth, providing them with opportunities, career paths, and job prospects. Basketball has the power to save lives, and it is our responsibility to offer a safe, welcoming platform where everyone—players, officials, and supporters—can grow, connect, and explore new possibilities. Through this incredible game, we are shaping brighter futures and stronger communities.

As a young person, I know how much it means to have a place where you feel safe, supported, and part of something bigger. It’s in those moments—on the court, with your team, learning and growing—that real memories are made. When communities back their youth with real opportunities, jobs, and chances to grow, we all benefit. Basketball has been a game-changer for so many of us—it teaches more than just skills; it builds confidence, friendships, and purpose. Giving young people a space to explore who they are and where they’re going helps shape not just better individuals, but a better future for everyone.

Comp Court Controller
As a 23-year-old and former state player, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for young people to have a space where they feel safe, supported, and inspired. For me, that space was always the basketball court. It’s where I grew, found confidence, made lifelong friendships, and learned what it means to be part of a team. When communities invest in their youth—through real opportunities, mentoring, and pathways—it makes a lasting difference. Basketball isn’t just a sport; it’s a platform that shapes who we are and who we can become. Supporting that journey means building a stronger future for everyone.

QSL Court Controller
A progressive society invests in its youth by providing safe spaces, structured programs, and real pathways to success. When young people are supported, they contribute meaningfully to their communities. Sport, especially basketball, plays a vital role in building discipline, leadership, and connection. To ensure long-term community strength, we must prioritise youth development through thoughtful policy and partnership.

QSL Court Controller
I just want our young people to have a place where they feel safe, supported, and free to be themselves. Somewhere they can laugh, learn, and make memories they’ll carry forever. It’s not about pressure or perfection—it’s about joy, connection, and belonging. When we come together through something like basketball, we’re not just playing a game—we’re building friendships, confidence, and a sense of community. Everyone deserves the chance to be part of something good, to feel seen and valued. That’s all I really want—for everyone to have a good time, and to know they matter.
