The Kingborough Sports Centre (KSC) is a multi-purpose sports venue located in Hobart, Tasmania, in the suburb of Kingston. The centre caters for indoor sports such as volleyball, basketball and netball.
Work began in 1978 on a four-level complex that was finished in 1979 at a cost of $1.3 million.[1]
The Hobart Devils in the National Basketball League (NBL) played at KSC between 1983 and 1988, as did the Hobart Islanders in the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) between 1986 and 1996, winning the 1991 title.[1]
The Hobart Chargers in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) initially played at KSC, winning three South Conference titles in 1997, 1998 and 2000 in front of fans at Kingston before the club shifted closer to the city centre.[2]
