ABOUT PERTH SPECTRES

Welcome to the Perth Spectres Basketball Club.

Our club was founded in 2019 as the Western Australian contingent of Spectres Australia.

Spectres Australia was founded in 2001, and since then, has been a well-known and much loved part of the Australian and International LGBTIQA+ sporting and basketball community.

Our values are RESPECT, COMMUNITY and FRIENDSHIP, and we pride ourselves on being community first, basketball second. We strive to create an environment where you feel welcome, wholeheartedly accepted and celebrated, all whilst playing a great game of ball.

So if you are looking to meet some like minded people, form some awesome friendships and get fit at the same time, we are the place for you! Hope to see you down on the court soon!
