As a registered Not-For-Profit (NFP) organization, underpinned by a volunteer Committee of Management, Magic Basketball is guided by clear policies and a shared value system across all members, teams and age groups.

We understand that no two players are alike. Our coaches strive to develop each player’s skills and foster stronger teams. Through nurturing teamwork, positive communication and imparting knowledge, our coaches support you to learn basketball skills, build endurance, discipline, and a strong character.
