Do you want to represent Northpine in Basketball one day? We run teams in both the ASSA (Adventist Schools Sports Association) and BOSL (Brisbane Outer Schools League) competitions. These are teams that run selection trials and students make these teams based on merit and competency. They are not meant to be exclusive, but only a handful of students make these teams - usually 10 students per team. ASSA runs teams in Under 12's, Under 15's and Opens, and BOSL runs Yr 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12.

- Communication - do you talk to your team mates on court? Can you be positive and encouraging?
