Basketball is bigger than the game.
Across Victoria, basketball helps children build confidence, young people develop resilience, volunteers strengthen communities, coaches become mentors, officials lead by example, and families create lifelong connections.
That's why Basketball Victoria exists.
Through basketball, we connect communities to support the health, wellbeing and development of all Victorians.
Delivering on that purpose means much more than simply facilitating basketball in this state.
Learn about the full Together We Raise The Game story here:
It means working alongside associations, clubs, schools, volunteers, coaches, officials, governments, community organisations and industry partners to create environments where people can participate, belong and thrive.
Because when we work together, the impact reaches far beyond the court.
Every day, families place their trust in basketball. That's why creating safe, supportive and positive environments for children and young people sits at the heart of everything we do.
Our work extends across mental health and wellbeing, coach development, volunteer support, inclusion initiatives, and practical programs, resources and partnerships that strengthen both the game and the communities it serves.
Because when we ask more, learn more, and improve...Together, We Raise the Game.
ASK. LEARN. IMPROVE
We also believe progress comes from listening, learning and continually improving.
Like every community, every organisation and every sport, there is always more we can learn and opportunities to improve.
Building positive basketball environments is one of our most important responsibilities, and it's an ongoing commitment. Every conversation, every insight and every action helps move our community forward. It's not a one-off play. It's an ongoing commitment.
That's why everything we do is guided by three simple principles: ASK. LEARN. IMPROVE.
