ABOUT WBA

WHO WE ARE

Basketball in the heart of Gippsland — from first bounces to Big V.

The Warragul Basketball Association (WBA) is an Incorporated Association proudly affiliated with Basketball Victoria and Basketball Australia. We are Gippsland’s largest sporting organisation, delivering basketball to players of all ages and abilities across Baw Baw Shire and the surrounding region.

From the very first time a child picks up a ball through Aussie Hoops, right through to representing our region at the elite Big V level — the WBA is your home for basketball at every stage of the journey.

OUR MISSION

To provide high quality, inclusive basketball experiences for every member of our community — players, coaches, officials, families, and volunteers — at every level of the game.

OUR REGION

We operate across five venues — Warragul Leisure Centre, Bellbird Park Indoor Centre (Drouin), Bunyip Recreation Reserve, Neerim South Basketball Stadium, and Drouin Primary School — making basketball accessible across the region.

AFFILIATED WITH

The WBA is proudly affiliated with Basketball Victoria (BV) and Basketball Australia, ensuring our players, coaches, and officials operate within Australia’s peak basketball framework and have access to state and national pathways.

#WARRIORSPIRIT

More than a hashtag — WarriorSpirit is the culture we build every time a team takes the court. Hard work, respect for the game, support for teammates, and pride in our community. That’s what we’re about.
