The Gametime by Kmart mission is to strengthen the community program and engage Australian and New Zealand children aged between 5 - 12 years old at primary schools and to define a clear synergy between this first touchpoint with basketball, the club and the NBL.

About the Program

• Our aim is to strengthen connections between the Illawarra Hawks, local schools and the wider community, showcasing how sport can unite people of all backgrounds.

• The clinics are designed for students in Year 2, 3 or 4 at school.

• The clinics are an engaging and interactive primary school allowing students to meet and play against the Illawarra Hawks NBL players or our community coaches.

‍Program Inclusions

• 30-minute on-court clinics for student groups up to 40 total.  

• Kmart GameTime provided to each participant on the day.  

"I just wanted to say thanks to you for organising our school visits last week. Everything ran so smoothly, and we truly appreciate all the time and effort that went

into coordinating the sessions. Charlotte, Ella, Kobe and Luca were absolutely amazing. They were engaging, professional and fantastic with the students. At both schools, the students loved every minute of their sessions and were so excited to take part (and get their new singlets). The feedback we have received has been incredibly positive" ​

Carla, Sports Coordinator for St Columbkille's and Good Samaritan
