Hoops on the Inside is a specialised Hoops 4 Health program delivered within the Alice Springs and Darwin Correctional Centres, as well as the Holtze Youth Detention Centre. 

We also run leave-of-absence sessions at the Hoops 4 Health Training Centre for young people involved in the juvenile justice system, providing a safe and positive space to reset and rebuild. 

At the heart of this program is a strong focus on social and emotional well-being, guided by the Hoops 4 Health Model, helping participants develop resilience, self-belief, and life skills through the game of basketball.

At Hoops on the Inside, we lead transformative weekly sessions within youth detention centres nationwide, focusing particularly on programs in the Northern Territory. Our dedicated team, deeply rooted in First Nations heritage, prioritizes building relationships and engaging clients in a culturally sensitive manner. Central to our mission is celebrating the achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth.

Inside the centres, our programs foster growth, while follow-up initiatives outside support young people at risk of re-entering the justice system. With a strong rapport established, we've conducted over 800 sessions at Don Dale Youth Detention Centre since 2016 and now in the new Holtze facility.  Additionally, we run the Hoops 4 Wealth Program in Darwin and Alice Springs Prisons.
