Oakhill Basketball

2010 - a Bastketball Camp conducted by Npire, will be held on 30th September and 1st October at Castle Hill. Click here for more details.

Oakhill Basketball continues to grow each year, with the College winning the ISA Championship Shield in 2008 and defending the title in 2009. Students at Oakhill have the opportunity to play basketball either in the Hills District local competition (usually held on a weekday afternoon/evening) at Hills basketball Stadium or in the Summer ISA competition. Teams in the Hills competition are usually based on friendship groups whilst all ISA teams are graded according to ability.

Oakhill students have been competing in ISA competition for over 10 years and have enjoyed some outstanding results in recent years. In 2004 Oakhill 1sts won the National Title and were crowned the number one schools team in Australia. Interestingly, two members of the 2004 National winning team have furthered their basketball career, Julian Khazzouh was playing for the West Sydney Razorbacks, while Andrew (AJ) Ogilvy is currently playing professionally in Turkey.

All ISA home games are played on one of three courts at the College. The newly constructed Centenary Sports Centre (opened 2006) has two courts while the court in Benildus Hall has been recently refurbished.

At the end of 2007, 21 students enjoyed a very successful 3 week tour of the United States. This was the first overseas tour since 1997 and was enjoyed by all. In December 2009, 9 students departed for a three week tour of the East Coast of the United States.

All ISA players are supported by a dynamic committee, comprising of parents, ex students and friends. All parents are encouraged to join the committee, whilst all interested students are encouraged to represent Oakhill, either in the year round local competition or the ISA competition.
