About Us

The Panthers Basketball Club competes in the domestic basketball competition at the Coburg Basketball Association (CBA) and Eastern District Junior Basketball Association (EDJBA) against other basketball clubs and teams within those associations. Panthers players aged from 5 – 19 years of age are placed into teams based on age, gender and skill level. These teams are then entered into the weekly competitions, with rankings spanning from Division 1 to Division 5.

As a community sporting organisation, the Panthers Basketball Club is driven to provide opportunities for everyone in our community to participate in healthy, safe and inclusive basketball activities in a fun and family orientated environment.

We are proud to be a club that incorporates:

  • An inclusive culture, accepting players no matter their skill level, gender, culture or economic circumstances.
  • A Cubs program that focusses on teaching kids the fundamental skills required to play, along with the rules of basketball in a caring, non-competitive and fun environment.
  • A coaching pathways program, giving all players the opportunity to be mentored by experienced coaches, gain formal qualifications and coach their own team.
  • A progressive board that endeavours to provide the best environment and culture for our players, coaches and spectators.
  • An amazing group of dedicated volunteers, all of who tirelessly provide their skills, time and assistance to ensure the club can offer the above.

In addition, we offer weekly Cub Academy sessions throughout the school term - a pathways program designed to introduce young children from 5 to 8 years old to basketball without the need for competition. The program teaches kids the fundamental skills required to play, along with the rules of basketball in a caring, and fun environment.

Established in 2019, we already have a great history and reputation for playing fair, winning championships (at the Coburg Basketball Association and the Eastern District Junior Basketball Association), being community orientated and having great supporters.
