We are very lucky to have you Hoffy and we appreciate all that you do 😀🏀 congratulationsOn behalf of the Steelers Executive, committee and wider Steelers community, we would like to congratulate Darren “Hoops” Hoffman.
Hoops will be awarded the Community Service Award at the upcoming Citizen of the Year Award ceremony tomorrow night.
Darren has been a cornerstone of the Whyalla Basketball Association for more than 30 years, contributing across administration, competition organisation, officiating and facility development. He plays a crucial role in scheduling hundreds of games each season, supporting junior development programs and mentoring referees.
Darren’s behind-the-scenes work ensures basketball remains accessible, welcoming and well-organised for hundreds of local families. His dedication, leadership and long-term commitment have shaped the sport in Whyalla.
Well done Hoops, thoroughly deserved!

Congratulations Hoops! Well deserved👏
Congratulations Hoffy. Long overdue recognition for amazing level of commitment. Whyalla Basketball and all who have been involved in it since you’ve been so strongly involved, have been able to enjoy their experience so much more because of the work you have done and continue to do. It’s great that you’re getting community recognition and I hope the WBA can find a way to fully show its appreciation.
Congratulations Hoffy!
Get ready - as our Platinum Season recommences this coming Tuesday!
And don't forget Saturday 31st is a triple header!
These are makeup Monday games from the Australia Public holiday and Saturday games from Rnd 12, the Whyalla carnival weekend

At our recent WBA committee meeting it was agreed that we need to increase the cap for our Ausie Hoops Program. That’s a great idea and we whole heartedly agree we just need more coaches/support people prepared to take on that challenge.
Last years coordinator Scott King is keen to help again this term but can't commit full time. Scott is happy to support by planning sessions with parents/helpers/coaches, running some activities or helping others running activities and providing feedback when he can.
If you can help please message the WBA as we need to open registrations ASAP.
Providing participant numbers are strong again we would like to break up the program into 2 x age /ability groups over 2 different sessions, one after the other. The thought being the older group could be half drills and half actual games to transition them to playing for real.
The issue of kids wanting to play basketball not just do drills is a common complaint of the AH program, but the reality is before you play you must learn the basic skills.
