For over 50 years Sturt has maintained a culture of excellence that pound for pound has developed more talented basketballers that play at the highest levels than any other program in Australia.

This emphasis on elite player development is part of Sturt's DNA and continues to this day. If you have aspirations of playing at the highest possible level, then there is no better place to be than Sturt.

Sturt Basketball Hall of Fame

In 2010 the Sturt Sabres Basketball Club celebrated 50 years of competition. As part of the extensive 50th season celebrations, the committee initiated the hall of fame to recognise the outstanding players, coaches, referees and contributors to the club.
