Our Mission

​

Her Hoops AU seeks to provide young girls in WA – from mid-primary to high school age – with exceptional quality coaching and mentoring within the sport of basketball. Not only do we provide top-notch skill development and functional movement training, we do so while instilling confidence, work ethic and teamwork.  We undertake a holistic approach towards the girls in our care, using basketball as the medium to build positive relationships with their peers, coaches and leaders alike. 

Her Hoops AU is both developed and coached by women in its entirety, endeavouring to provide young girls in Perth and surrounding areas with access to positive, female role models in their community.
