Final round of the season for our U10 club sides.

So much growth from these kids across the year. New skills, new friendships, and plenty of smiles on court.

Big thanks to the coaches, referees and volunteers who gave up their time each week, and to the families who filled the seats.

See you next season 💙

🏀 40 YEARS OF BASKETBALL | DAMIEN HOGAN

40 years. One final game. What a way to go out.

On Tuesday night Damien Hogan played his last ever game, and the crowd turned up to send him off in style. Packed stands, big cheers and four decades of basketball to celebrate.

Player, coach, mentor. Damien has done the lot for Rockhampton basketball, and generations of players are better for it.

Congratulations on an incredible 40 years, Damien. We hope you enjoy the well earned break!

🏀 U10 Fixtures – Last Game of the Season! 🎉

This Friday, 28th August is our final U10 fixture for the season. What a fantastic season it has been for all our U10 teams!

🎖️ Teams, please stay around after your game to receive your medals and ice blocks! 🍦

A huge thank you to all our players, coaches, referees, volunteers and families for making this season such a great one. Let’s finish the season on a high!

If you grabbed a coffee at the courts last weekend during CQJBC, chances are you met the crew behind SiP. By Walk 'n' Talk

SiP is the new not-for-profit coffee and food trailer from the Walk 'n' Talk Collective. It's one of the first of its kind in our region, and it's built around a simple idea. Every coffee poured helps support male mental health and wellbeing across Central Queensland.

100% of proceeds go straight back into the Walk 'n' Talk Collective, keeping important conversations going and helping them show up in more places.

Thanks for being part of our weekend! It was great having you at the courts looking after our families and volunteers. We hope to see you again soon!

💙 WHAT A WEEKEND OF BASKETBALL 💙

It was wonderful to host the CQJBC competition here in Rocky!

A big thank you to all the visiting teams for making the trip and for being such great guests. We hope everyone had safe travels home to their part of CQ.

Our Rockhampton Jets boys in Division 1 gave it everything. The work rate, the way they competed, and how they stuck together as a team was great to watch. Well done, boys. And great to see the skills on show across every court 👏

Thanks to everyone who made it happen 💙

Our Under 12 Rockhampton Cyclones have done it! The girls are the winners of Division 1 in the CQJBC competition. 💙

11 wins from 12 games and 34 competition points made. What an amazing effort!

Huge congratulations to the girls for the work they've put in. To the families who got them to training and games, and to the coaches who guided them along the way, thank you. This one is for all of you!

So proud of this group 👏🔥🏀

Thank You, Neal Tweedy

Rockhampton Basketball would like to sincerely thank Neal Tweedy, who has stepped away from his role as Head Coach of the Fitzroy Towing and Transport Rockhampton Rockets.

Neal has given more than 40 years to Rockhampton Basketball, including 26 years as Coach and four championships in 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2014. His passion, loyalty and dedication have shaped our club and the Rockets program, and his influence will be felt by generations of players and coaches to come.

We're grateful for Neal's leadership and service, and for the support of his family, Angela, Ben, Emily and Jack, throughout his coaching career.

Thank you Neal for everything.
