Shoalhaven Tigers

The Shoalhaven Tigers are a local basketball association based on the New South Wales south coast. Teams currently compete in the New South Wales State Basketball League, Southern Junior Leagues, NSW Country Champioships and Barrengarry Conference. Despite being a small association in numbers, the "Tigers" have produced several players whom have played NCAA, NBL and WNBL. Some of these players have also represented Australia at various junior levels and higher.

History

2008 will mark the 50th anniversary of basketball in the Shoalhaven. Originally played on outdoor courts at Nowra High School and in disused aircraft hangers at HMAS Albatross, basketball has been a major sport in the region for many years. The Tigers have consistently played above expectations, and in 2007 the State League Women's team completed a perfect season winning the New South Wales State Basketball League championship 17-0.
