Return to 2022 and Covid update

As of Monday 17th January 2022, Star FM Stadium will be again back open to the public and we cant wait to welcome you all back.

Townsville Basketball has had a number of enquiries regarding fixtures and Covid protocols of late with the new variant of Covid affecting our community. We will follow the guidelines laid out to us by Basketball Queensland and Queensland Health. Our junior and senior competitions will recommence as planned unless we are notified of any further restrictions.

With regards to Covid protocols, the information below is straight from the BQ website and Queensland Health.
