Moe Meteors Squad Program
About the program
The Moe Meteors representative basketball program is a fantastic opportunity for young athletes to develop the skills required to compete in a better standard of basketball competition, through access to quality instruction from our team of experienced coaching staff.
Selected participants have the opportunity to compete against the best basketball players from surrounding towns in serveral round robin tournaments held throughout the local area. They may also get to compete in weekly practice games in the next age group up of our domestic competition.
Not only does participation in the program help develop your child’s playing ability, it also brings higher self esteem, new pleasures of achievement, and more importantly, fosters the development of new friendships.

Court Time
All players have an important role to play. At Basketball Moe, we genuinely want to see all players develop and succeed, however it is important to understand that court time is not guaranteed.
Coaches will always do their best to ensure that playing time is fair, but please realise it will not necessarily be equal.
