    Queer Sporting Alliance Takeover at GESAC

    To celebrate Trans Awareness Week, join us on Sunday 15 November for a Come & Try Basketball session hosted in partnership with Queer Sporting Alliance (QSA). This event is for Trans, non-binary and gender diverse community members and allies, offering a chance to connect with community, learn basketball skills and drills, and enjoy a fun social game. 

    What to Expect

    This event is all about getting on the court, having fun and giving basketball a try. No experience is necessary.

    Before the basketball session, enjoy light refreshments and snacks in the Eten Café from 6.30pm. This welcome period is a great opportunity to connect with others and learn more about Queer Sporting Alliance (QSA), including its 2027 National Sports Tournament and Q League competitions across Melbourne. Information will also be available about Glen Eira Leisure facilities, memberships and other inclusive events and programs. The Come & Try basketball session will begin at 7.00pm.
