Basketball Queensland

Last updated April 2026

Junior basketball at Basketball Queensland in Crestmead is where Gold Coast kids lace up for the first time and fall in love with the game. Three gleaming courts buzz with the sound of sneakers squeaking and balls swishing, while beginner programs focus on fun rather than competition. Coaches trained in junior development make sure every session builds confidence alongside skills. Parents can relax in the viewing area or join the sideline cheers. It’s a great place for kids to meet friends while learning the fundamentals of basketball under lights. **What to Bring** Light, breathable clothing and proper indoor basketball shoes. Bring a water bottle and a small towel. Sunscreen isn’t needed indoors. A change of socks is handy after drills. **Best Age Range** Best for 5–12 year olds. Beginner programs suit new players as young as 5. **Good to Know** Sessions run after school and on weekends. Prices vary by program length. No bookings required for casual sessions. Parking is free in the lot out front. **Nearby** The playground at Crestmead Park, Gold Coast is a five-minute drive away. Treat the kids to a cone at The Coffee Club in Browns Plains after training. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early on weekends—it gets busy by 10 am. Bring a spare pair of socks; feet get damp. Ask about holiday clinics—they’re a hit during school breaks.
