CELEBRATING 23 YEARS OF HISTORY

Welcome! You’ve discovered Australia’s fun, vibrant, and premier LGBTQIA+ inclusive basketball community! The Spectres began their journey as the Sydney Spectres, founded in 2001 by a passionate group of seven gay basketballers who came together to represent Sydney, Australia at the 2002 Gay Games.​

Since those humble beginnings, the Spectres Australia Basketball Association have grown into a national network of clubs in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. Over the past 23 years, the Spectres have proudly become a beloved and influential part of the Australian and international LGBTQIA+ sporting and basketball communities.

Our mission is to provide an environment free from harassment and discrimination for members and friends of the LGBTQIA+ community, to play basketball, get fit and socialise. Although winning is important, showing respect, making new friends, and building our community are the core values deeply engrained in the Spectres culture.
