Central Coast Waves Basketball won both categories at the first walking basketball tournament of the year, held at Niagara Park stadium on April 11.
The increasingly popular program saw nine teams taking part from as far away as the Illawarra.
Two categories were contested, over 60s and under-60s, with an even mix of both men and women.
Central Coast Waves Basketball took out both categories.
Waves operations manager Matt Smith said the aim of the program was to open the sport to as many people as possible by making the competitiveness of the contest take precedence over the physical aspects of the traditional game.
