Basketball and volleyball gear in Australia: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Basketball and volleyball gear in Australia costs from about A$45 for a volleyball and A$56 for a basketball, pool hoop-and-net sets start around A$114, and full-size systems run from about A$240 to A$880. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, November 2026. For the ball or set that suits your court or pool, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice to get current offers.

Warranty and safety rules

Under the Australian Consumer Law, a business must supply sports goods of acceptable quality, and a seller cannot exclude that guarantee. Manufacturers add their own cover: Spalding, for example, states that its basketball systems are warranted to the original purchaser and that its inflated products are guaranteed for one year. Basketball rings and backboards sold in Australia must carry a safety warning notice and a warning symbol under a mandatory product safety standard, so check the packaging before you buy a hoop for a driveway or a children's play area. Ask the seller to confirm the warranty period in writing.

Season and where people play

November is late spring, when outdoor courts and pools get busy for the summer season. From December to February the heat in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide makes pool game sets popular with families, while many indoor and club leagues run through winter, from June to August. Whether a ball or hoop is right depends on your club or school, so ask the league organiser which ball size and ring height they use before you buy. Adjustable systems give ring heights in metres, and the listed range is usually 2.45 m to 3.05 m.

What to write in your request

Say what you play and where: an indoor court, an outdoor court or a backyard pool. Name the item (ball, hoop, net set or knee pads), the size or model, and the quantity. For a hoop, give the height range in metres and say whether you need a weighted base. Note whether used gear is acceptable, and set your budget in A$. Ask the seller whether postage to your city is included, because large items like hoops can cost more to deliver than balls.
