'Come Out & Play'

ABOUT

Bushrangers Basketball comprises of teams based in several suburbs of Melbourne. Club President and founder Stella Lesic grew up playing basketball in Melbourne. Having experienced life as a closeted youth basketballer, they were driven to build safe spaces for everyone to 'Come Out & Play'.

They are the first official LGBTIQA+ basketball clubs entered into basketball comps in Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland and Canberra in 2020!  They pride themselves on creating safe spaces for LGBTIQA+ basketballers and their allies to play community sport.

They are seeking to generate interest in all players in the LGBTIQA+ community (and allies) who are disengaged in sporting activity or looking for a safe space to play basketball.

​

They have a strong focus on supporting the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse players. They are excited to now be an official diversity partner of Transgender Victoria!
