Adelaide University Waatu Basketball Men and Women's Teams
The word ‘Waatu’ is Kaurna language for ‘coming together for a common goal’. The home of the University of Adelaide is on Kaurna land, for whom we pay our respects to as the Traditional Owners of the land, and our respects to Elders past and present.
Our men and women’s teams work on success, enjoyment and pride as a whole. The Waatu are the only South Australian team competing in the University Basketball League (UBL) and are excited to represent South Australia with pride as we work towards competing for Championships!
