Introduction
Hoopcity is a basketball magazine that was
launched in Australia during April '08.
With a focus towards Australian basketball, while covering
all aspects of the game, Hoopcity
is unlike any other hoops magazine in the world. The
magazine is open to the community; meaning that your
voice, support and contributions will help play a major
role in the growth of Hoopcity and
basketball in Australia.
Hoopcity covers the NBA, NBL, WNBL,
local leagues, local talent, international talent, street-basketball,
inspirational stories, training advice and anything
else in the game that deserves to be recognised. Hoopcity
has something for all ages, fans and aspects of the
sport, as basketball is more than one dimensional.
The
Magazine
Hoopcity is a unique
sized magazine, half the size of a regular mag which
makes it a convenient read and easier to keep in good
condition, especially for a player who does a lot of
travelling. Hoopcity Issue 01
is 64-pages full of content with minimal advertising
that is relevant. Hoopcity Issue 02 will be expanding
to 72-pages.
The
Mission
Hoopcity represents the voice of basketball
on all levels. While the NBA is the best league in the
world, we believe that there is so much more about the
game that deserves to be promoted, especially here in
Australia.
For years, basketball in Australia has had a lack of
respect and coverage in the media. And for years, we
felt that if the media weren't going to give the sport
any respect, we, the basketball community, needed to
create our own media.
Hoopcity aims to inspire people with
stories and interviews that leave you feeling motivated
and knowing the players more personally. At the end
of each article, we want readers to feel inspired to
drop the mag and head out to the court to work on their
game, or take their friends and family out to an NBL
or WNBL game.
