ABOUT WILLY CANNONS

Williamstown Cannons proudly supports Under 8 – Under 18 boys and girls of all skill levels.

At Cannons, it’s about more than basketball — we build confident players, great teammates and a strong sense of community.

Our teams enjoy exclusive access to Cannons development programs, led by Director of Performance Justin Schueller and supported by Director of Coaching Katarina Kekez, with sessions designed to be fun, engaging and age-appropriate.

With supportive coaching, meaningful development opportunities and over 600 junior athletes competing each season, Cannons is where kids learn the game, make friends and love basketball.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Willy Cannons is committed to making basketball accessible and enjoyable for as many kids as possible, with our volunteers working hard to provide playing and development opportunities for over 600 young athletes each season.

When forming teams for the upcoming season, existing Cannons players are prioritised first, followed by siblings of Cannons athletes and returning players.

Families will be contacted by email as team places become available.

If you have any follow-up questions, please contact our Registrar, Sophia Lathouras, at registrar@williamstowncannons.org.au.

Expressions of Interest close on Sunday 8 March 2026.

Cannons Membership options will be trialled in Winter 2026, recognising that our junior athletes and families look for different things from their basketball at Cannons.
