Basketball is a strong and popular sport at St Mary's College, with teams competing at various levels throughout the year. Our program fosters skill development, teamwork, and a competitive spirit while ensuring all students have the opportunity to participate. We have teams in both 5-on-5 and 3x3 formats, catering to players of all abilities—from beginners to those competing at regional and national levels. St Mary's teams regularly perform well in local competitions and national tournaments, including winning the national title in 2017 and making regular appearances in the finals in recent seasons. This success reflects the dedication of our players, coaches, and the strong support of our basketball community.

SOCIAL TEAMS:
Students who are Year 11 and above can enter their own social team. The social teams still play in the normal competition as all other teams for that sport. So playing is not 'social' as such, and team members must commit to playing the full season as any other team.
