OUR STORY.

Welcome to the Jungle!

​​

Wallan Basketball Incorporation has been the beating heart of basketball in Wallan and its surrounding communities since 1982. From our beginnings at RB Robson Stadium with a single court, we’ve grown into a vibrant and ambitious club, now boasting three courts, including our state-of-the-art showcase court with stadium seating for over 200 spectators.

​

Our journey has been one of evolution and achievement. What started as a grassroots effort has transformed into a thriving basketball hub, with junior and senior programs that cater to players of all ages and skill levels. Our Junior Domestic program draws players from Wallan and nearby towns such as Craigieburn, Kilmore, Broadford, Wandong, and Whittlesea, fostering a strong sense of community and competition.

​

We proudly field representative teams in the Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) and Basketball Victoria Junior Country Championships (JCC), offering players a chance to compete at the highest levels while building skills and camaraderie. In 2016, we took a monumental step by entering the BigV competition with men’s, women’s, and youth league teams, establishing ourselves as serious contenders. Since then, we’ve celebrated numerous milestones, including banners for our women’s team and a historic CBL championship win for our senior men in 2020.

Behind the scenes, we’ve always prioritised player development and community growth. The introduction of our Player Development Plan and the role of Coaching Director have helped us nurture talent and create clear pathways for players aspiring to elite basketball. Our domestic competition’s club system—featuring the Bushrangers, Mountaineers, Trailblazers, Miners and Brumbies—has elevated the standard of play and deepened the sense of belonging within our community.

​

Innovation is at the core of Wallan Basketball. From launching our own under-10 tournament and expanding our girls’ programs to modernising our digital presence with an online merchandise store, we’re always looking for ways to improve and grow. Even during challenging times, like the pandemic, our community’s resilience shone through, enabling us to bounce back stronger than ever.

​

Today, Wallan Basketball is more than just a sports club—it’s a family. We are proud of how far we’ve come and excited about where we’re heading. Whether you’re new to the game, looking to develop your skills, or aiming for elite competition, there’s a place for you here. Together, we’ll keep building, competing, and celebrating the sport we love.
