At the North Gold Coast Seahawks, we’ve always believed in backing our own — and now, we have a truly special opportunity to do just that. Our 2024/25 U14 Girls 1 team has earned a place at the Basketball Australia U14 Club Championships, being held this September in Willetton, Western Australia. It’s a historic achievement — not just for the players, but for our entire club — and we are standing proudly behind them as they take this next step onto the national stage.
This is the first girls' team in Seahawks history to qualify for the U14 Club Championships and only the second Seahawks team ever to do so. These ten remarkable athletes have trained relentlessly, performed with heart, and shown incredible resilience — and now, it’s our turn to ensure that their journey continues.
“This is bigger than a tournament. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for ten young girls who have poured their hearts into the sport and proudly represent our club. As a community-based association, we believe it’s our responsibility to help them get there.”
"These girls have set a new standard for what’s possible at our club. Through their performances on the court and their dedication off it, they’re not just competing — they’re paving the way for the next generation of female Seahawks to dream bigger and aim higher."
Sending the team across the country comes with a significant cost. We are aiming to raise $30,000 to cover flights, accommodation, transport, meals, uniforms, and tournament fees for 10 players, 2 coaches, and a team manager.
As a show of commitment, the club has already contributed $9,811.07 — and as President, I’ve personally rounded that up to a full $10,000. But we still have a way to go, and we’re calling on our community to stand with us.
