Bush to Beach Legal is excited to celebrate a historic milestone. Both the men’s and women’s Sunshine Coast Phoenix basketball teams have qualified for the NBL1 North finals for the very first time in the club’s history.
Since beginning in 2015, the Sunshine Coast Phoenix have steadily grown into a strong local sporting force. The club, which combines the talents and traditions of three Sunshine Coast basketball associations, Noosa, Maroochydore, and Caloundra has shown remarkable progress this season. After years of striving, both the men’s and women’s teams secured their spots in the highly competitive NBL1 North playoffs, marking a proud moment for the region’s basketball community.

The men’s team finished the regular season with an impressive 9-5 record, placing third overall. Meanwhile, the women’s team, finishing fifth with a balanced 7-7 record.
This breakthrough is the result of dedicated effort and commitment from local players who have persevered through years of challenges. The Phoenix’s approach to building a team centred on homegrown talent has fostered strong community pride and connection. Several key players have roots in Sunshine Coast basketball, providing continuity from junior leagues through to the elite NBL1 level. This pathway encourages young athletes across the region to dream big and stay connected to their local sporting community.
A key strength for the Phoenix has been their strategic recruitment combined with nurturing local prospects returning from college programs. Depth and resilience have been vital throughout the season, driving competitive performances and positioning the teams well for finals success.

Beyond their athletic achievements, the Sunshine Coast Phoenix represents the spirit of teamwork, community involvement, and sporting excellence that resonates throughout the region. Bush to Beach Legal is proud to support this local sporting institution, reflecting their ongoing commitment to strengthening community connections and encouraging positive local initiatives.
