The Lindisfarne Lions Basketball Club offers playing opportunities for students to participate in the Gold Coast Junior Basketball Association Winter and Summer League competitions. Whilst founded for the 2021 season, nine teams were established, and this has continued to grow each year significantly as further pathways and opportunities are developed.
