The Mid West community is still recovering from Cyclone Seroja and continues to require the assistance of the Australian Defence Force.
Activewest Stadium is currently being used as an emergency response centre.
While we would all love to see basketball return to Geraldton, we know that some things are more significant than the game. We continue to send our good wishes to all those impacted by the storm.
Further information regarding new dates will be announced shortly.

Hello all, we understand your frustration; however, this is the advice we have received directly from the Minister’s office and worked with them all day to obtain exemptions. Unfortunately, this was not possible. ALL indoor sport requires the use of masks for players and staff over the age of 12.

ANNOUNCEMENT – POSTPONEMENT OF NBL1 WEST and CANCELLATION OF WABLThe Government today has confirmed that it will be mandatory as a Condition of Entry for all people (that aren’t primary or preschool age) and staff to wear masks at all times while indoors (unless eating, drinking or swimming) in the Perth and Peel region for the period of 12:01am Saturday 1st May – 12:01am 8th Saturday May 8th 2021.
Basketball WA is extremely disappointed with the Governments decision despite pointing out that this means that 30,000 Western Australians who would have been playing basketball this week will no longer be able to do so as a result of this decision.
In discussions with our Associations and Stakeholder groups, we understand it is impractical for basketball games at the level of NBL1 West and WABL to proceed with players and referees having to wear masks. It is thus the decision of Basketball WA to postpone all Round 3 and Friday night Round 4 (7th May) NBL1 WEST fixtures and cancel all Round 2 WABL fixtures due to be played this weekend.
