Mia Woods

2023 Team Australia

World Games Training Camp

Only 12 days now until I fly to Melbourne with the other three SA athletes, Madi, Anton and Jack, for the Training Camp. I will get to meet the coaches and the rest of the basketball team, and also the whole Australia team! Can't wait.
In between time I fly to Geelong on Wednesday morning for the Ivor Burger Nationals, where we are playing a 3x3 competition.

Donation Thankyou

Thankyou again to everyone who has donated to my fundraising. I am getting closer and closer to my target of $9000!
And it is getting closer and closer to the trip. Only about 5 months away now!

Basketball Latest News

Basketball has started again after the Christmas break. Tonight I am playing for the Ball Slingers at Wayville. On Sunday I have training for the SA Women's Ivor Burge team. We are going to Geelong in early February for a National Competition in 3x3 basketball, which is really fast!
After that I have the Special Olympics Team Camp in Melbourne where I will meet the rest of the team I am going to p[lay with in Berlin. I am really excited about this camp. I will be going with Madi Fox, also from SA.

My Basketball Life

I live in Strathalbyn which is an hour or more from Adelaide. I play basketball in Adelaide twice a week and in Strathalbyn once a week. I train in Adelaide on Saturdays and Sundays for two hours, and in Mt Barker on a Friday night for one and a half hours.
As you can see I love my basketball and spend a lot of time travelling to get there.
I am very excited about going to Berlin in Germany.

Will you get me to the World Games?

I'm so proud to have been picked to wear the green and gold at the World Games in Berlin. 

To be part of an Australian team and go overseas will be a dream come true. But I need to raise $9,000 to get there. That’s a lot of money and I need your help!   

Will you please donate today and get me to Berlin? I promise I will do my best and make Australia proud. If you donate through this page YOUR money goes directly towards MY fundraising goal.  

You can donate any amount you want, but I like these amounts:  

$64 because it represents each athlete 

$28 because it represents each official 

$92 because it represents the whole team  

$150 because it’s just a good number!  

I’m told that donations of $2 and over are tax-deductible, so please donate and help me get to the Games. 

I’ll let our team know that you’re awesome because you support us. Thank you!
