The Balwyn Baptist Basketball Club Inc. – ‘The Redbacks’ – are part of the Greater Eastern Basketball Conference and have teams registered with the Melbourne East Basketball Association Junior Competition (M.E.B.A.J).   Most of our teams compete in the M.E.B.A. Junior Saturday Competition.

Playing in the MEBA Juniors the redbacks are aligned with the Nunawading Spectres, one of Victorias most successful basketball clubs. A number of Redback players also play for the Specters Juniors.

Throughout the season we have training once a week and a game each Saturday. The Saturday game can be played at anyone of the associations Stadiums or school basketball courts around the eastern suburbs. They are all conveniently within a 20 minute drive.

Our training venue is primarily the Balwyn Baptist Church hall.  We also utilise the full size basketball court at Strathcona Baptist Girls College, Scott Street Canterbury.

Our Club is a healthy small club; we have approximately ten teams each season and approximately 100 players. We welcome all players but the majority of our registrations come from Surrey Hills, Balwyn, Mont Albert, Kew, Cantebury and North Box Hill. Our registrations come mainly from ‘word of mouth’.

We have a fine tradition of developing junior players in this terrific sport. We promote the learning and enjoyment of basketball though creating an environment where players can fulfil their potential

If you know of a potential player who wishes to be part of a vibrant and fun atmosphere please contact us.
