Hi Everyone,

My name is Maddison I was born in Perth Western Australia but have lived in Darwin in the Northern Territory most of my life. I am passionate about basketball and at 15-years-old, I currently play at the highest level on offer to me in the NT competing in my age group as well as the women's premier league. I also coach through Aussie Hoops as well as my club Ellas Titans coaching an u12 girls' team. I have had the opportunity to represent the NT once as captain of the u16 team in 2024, but unfortunately due to low participation numbers, there are no more pathways for me within the NT.

Because of this I have been travelling down to WA to participate in the WA Country SPP program completing two trial camps and being successfully selected for the SPP development program. This will mean a further 3 trips to Perth this year to participate in the weekend camps in order to be considered for the WA team that will travel to the u18 national competition in April 2026.

All my trips and sports costs are entirely self-funded, so I am raising money to help with the expense of flights and comp fees, so I have access to opportunities and pathways that will allow me to play basketball at the highest level representing my state at a national level and, hopefully one day, taking that even further.

I am super committed to my chosen sport basketball, training or playing most days of the week and I hope to make you all proud. Thank you so much for helping me chase my dreams!
