On Saturday night, we proudly celebrated and acknowledged our newly inducted Life Members. Thank you for your incredible dedication to Hills Basketball!
Karen Burke Karen’s initial contribution to Hills Basketball stretches back to 1988. While her volunteer contribution is enormous, it’s in her paid role where ‘KB’ has had the most significant impact. Starting in 1995 when the ‘new’ stadium was opened, Karen has been instrumental in EVERYTHING good that has come the way of Hills Basketball since then. Karen was the mastermind behind the development of the I Am A Girl Program & Respect The Game, both later adopted at a state level, and continues to be a pioneer in expanding the sport in NSW.
Jason Strong Jason Strong is our most capped senior player with a remarkable 27-year representative career.

After retiring from NBL1, Jason helped the Waratah Men to back-to-back banners.

Matt has officiated 280 NBL games, WNBL Grand Finals, and major FIBA international tournaments, all while leaving a lasting legacy by mentoring our next generation of Hills referees....
