About Hawkesbury Jets Representative Program

Hawkesbury & District Basketball Association (HDBA) is proud to showcase the talents and skills of its members by participating in Basketball NSW Waratah Representative Program.

Junior Jets Representative

The HDBA Junior Jets Representative program is a fantastic opportunity for our younger members to develop new skills and bring their game to a whole new level by participating in Basketball NSW’s Waratah Junior League!

In 2024, HDBA had both a girls’ and a boys’ team in each age group for U12s, U14s, U16s, and U18s with five of our eight teams making the semi-finals. From there, our U12 Girls and U14 Boys went through to the Grand Final with U14 Boys winning their Grand Final.  Our U12 Girls and U16 Boys are now heading to the Basketball NSW State Cup in August.


Senior Jets Representative

In 2024, HDBA entered an U20 Men in the Barrengarry Competition as well as a Youth League Men (U22) team in Basketball NSW’s Waratah Senior League. Travelling across the state, it is a chance for some of our more experienced and skilled players to represent our Association and further develop their game through quality competition.
