North Gold Coast Seahawks Basketball have a number of member clubs servicing the entire northern and central Gold Coast region. Players are free to play for any club they choose, as they may have friends that already play, but we try to direct players to clubs based on the school that they attend.
Movement between clubs requires a Clearance to be completed and is generally done between seasons unless extenuating circumstances exist. See the table below to see which club your school is aligned to.
