To coincide with the start of NAIDOC week, all three Kennedy's Tours Tigers team will wear special Indigenous jerseys, designed by Bomaderry's Desley Stewart, for their respective Waratah League matches.

"Desley's design met our entire brief, incorporating the natural culture, landscape and significance of Indigenous people in the Shoalhaven," Shoalhaven Basketball Association committee member and youth men's coach Scott Balsar said.

"The jersey have the black cockatoo on the black, which is Aboriginal for Nowra.

"It also includes both Bomaderry (Bundaberra), which means fighting ground and running water, and Culunghutti Mountain, which is splendid view."

First to hit the court on the day will be Balsar's youth league men, who will be keen to keep their finals hopes alive by knocking of current top-six side Illawarra from 2pm.

This clash will be followed by Glen Mustapic's division one women's clash against Goulburn at 4pm - with the side out to record their second win of the season.

One of the key players to helping Mustapic's side achieve that will be guard Chelsea Hogg, who is a proud member of the Arakwal Bundjalung tribe

"Event's like Saturday give me a chance to not only represent the Shoalhaven but also my Indigenous background," Hogg said.

"I haven't had the chance to be a part of an event like this yet and when I heard about the round being a triple-header and a combination of cultural experience, it was really exciting.

"These events are important as they promote Indigenous athletes and culture, while showing unity between different backgrounds."

The final match of the triple-header slate is Ian Ozolins' division one men's clash with Illawarra - with one win currently separating the two top-four sides.

As well as the on court action, the day will also involve plenty of other activities, including a Welcome to Country conducted by elder Wilfred Dixon, of the Watti Watti tribe, an Aboriginal dance by the Luland family and didgeridoo performances by Jason Murray and Dale Wright.

The Tigers will also be selling Indigenous memorabilia on the day, while also auctioning off numerous of the playing jerseys.
