Perry Lakes Hawks Basketball Association is dedicated to the promotion of basketball to people of all ages.

Involvement at all levels of basketball is the essential ethos of our club. We are involved in State Basketball League (SBL), West Australian Basketball League (WABL), Friday/Saturday Domestic Junior Competition, School Competitions, Holiday Camps and Junior Development.

These events are attended by a very wide and diverse section of the community.  The coordination of the above competitions is considerable and we are privileged that volunteers donate much of their personal time and energy into the promotion, organisation and fundraising required for our club to operate.

State Basketball League (SBL)

SBL teams travel widely throughout the metropolitan area including Willetton, Cockburn, Warwick, Joondalup, Belmont, Rockingham and Morley.  Their fixtures also extend to the country areas including Kalgoorlie, Eaton, Geraldton and Mandurah.

Our SBL women's and men's teams have been very successful at the highest level of state basketball over a number of years.
