Basketball Participation Data in Australia

Could anyone direct me to where I could find some information on basketball participation rates in Australia?

I have done a fair bit of googling and looked around the ABS site but haven't found much.

I don't need anything too in depth, just perhaps at what age most kids play (eg. 3% of 7 year olds play basketball) and boys/girls splits.

Also, if anyone would like to take an educated guess...

If I took 100 random prep students (mix of boys and girls) and ran a basic clinic with them (30 mins). How many would you expect to be interested and want to continue into playing the sport?

Cheers in advance for any help!

Dude I just googled your thread title and found SEVERAL sites that offered information - on the first page.

Maybe your google is different to mine.

"If I took 100 random prep students (mix of boys and girls) and ran a basic clinic with them (30 mins). How many would you expect to be interested and want to continue into playing the sport?"

Depends. If your name is Michael Jordan I would say 30-40% If your name is Jordan Michaels I would say 3-4%.
