This event is for transgender, gender diverse, and nonbinary people.

About the session:

QSA and TGV are hosting a basketball training session aimed at beginners! The session will involve some fun mini games and an introduction to the rules. Get ready to groove and learn some new skills while jamming to awesome tunes.

Our sessions are designed with beginners in mind, so everyone can participate at their own pace, and take breaks whenever needed.

The session will involve a moderate amount of physical activity but we encourage folk to go at their own pace and take regular breaks – want to walk and skip the running? No problem.

Please wear footwear and clothes you are comfortable to exercise in. If you need additional support for the session (e.g. Auslan interpreter or a designated quiet zone) please let us know one week prior to the session.

About the facilitator:
Queer Sporting Alliance (QSA) is Australia and NZ's largest LGBTIQA+ sporting club. QSA's mission is to ensure LGBTIQA+ folk can access and participate in community sport. QSA pride themselves on creating safe spaces for LGBTIQA+ folk and their allies to play community sport. They are seeking to generate interest in all players in the LGBTIQA+ community (and allies) who are disengaged from sporting activity or looking for a safe space to play sport. They have a strong focus on supporting the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse players.
