Top basketballers head for Coast

There will be top basketball action on the Coast over the next two weekends

Central Coast Basketball is set to welcome teams from around NSW for the annual Coastal Classic Basketball Tournament this month.

Running over two weekends in February, Coastal Classic is the state’s premier pre-season competition for junior representative basketball.

The tournament is a great boost to the Central Coast economy, with teams coming from as far as Albury and Byron Bay to compete for the title of Coastal Classic Champions.

Kicking off the two weekends is the Division Two competition, commencing on Friday, February 2, from 6pm at Breakers Indoor Sports Stadium in Terrigal.

The tournament will run at multiple venues across the Central Coast including Niagara Park Stadium, Central Coast Adventist School, Central Coast Grammar School and Bateau Bay PCYC.

Central Coast Basketball General Manager Matt Tredrea said Coastal Classic was a wonderful event for the organisation and for the greater NSW basketball community.

“Each year we look forward to bringing together friends, rivals, and competitors from all areas of NSW to showcase what is one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in the country,” he said.

Players will come from all over the state

“Along with showcasing our region, we are incredibly proud to promote our community partners, where visitors can experience some luxury stays, amazing food and outstanding Central Coast hospitality.

“With more than 140 teams coming to compete in the Coastal Classic again in 2024, we look forward to welcoming everyone to the region and watching some brilliant young talents on the court.”

There will be free entry across all venues.

Grand final matches will be played on Sunday, February 4, at Breakers Indoor Sports Stadium.

The Division One weekend will be held from Friday-Sunday, February 16-18.
