Blue Mountains Magic

Blue Mountains Magic are our representative teams who compete in the Waratah Western Junior League, run by Basketball NSW.

 

Our Representative Program is WHERE MAGIC HAPPENS—a community of talented players chosen to represent our organisation at the highest level. Here, the focus goes beyond the scoreboard. We are committed to developing elite athletes who understand and respect the game, while continually elevating their skills and athleticism.

 

We are building not just athletes, but well-rounded individuals who will carry the Magic of teamwork, dedication, and excellence both on and off the court.

Magic Academy & Trials

Are You Ready to Create Magic? 

We run our Magic Academy for those who are looking to get ready for representative trials and become part of the Magic!

 

The Magic Academy is an intensive training program designed for local competition (non-representative) players who are aiming to attend Magic Representative Trials. 

 

Conducted annually in the lead-up to trials, this program is tailored for athletes aged U12 – U18. It’s perfect for those looking to sharpen their skills, develop their game, and prepare to unleash their magic on the court.
