🏀 ROUND 3 WRAP-UP! ❤️

The temperature is rising, summer is definitely on its way, and so is the competition on court! ☀️🔥

Another huge Tuesday night at Euroa Basketball, with 17 teams taking to the court across 9 games, covering all five grades - Juniors, Intermediates, Seniors, Open A Grade and Open Social!

There were plenty of tough contests, competitive matchups and great moments across the evening. 💪🏀

A special shout-out to Unc Stoppers for helping us trial our first double-header! Two games in one night is no small effort, especially in the heat.

We’re now three rounds in, and it’s fantastic to see the competition taking shape, teams finding their rhythm and players continuing to develop.

A big thank you to our referees, coaches, team managers, scorers and volunteers who keep everything running each week.

🌟 CELEBRATING OUR NEW GOLD SPONSOR 🌟

Community basketball doesn’t happen without great community support.

We’re incredibly grateful to our long-term Gold Sponsors, Burton's IGA Euroa and GMCU, who have backed Euroa Basketball year after year. Their support helps us keep basketball affordable, invest in our programs and equipment, and create more opportunities for people of all ages to get on court.

And this season, we’re very proud to welcome BDNE Electrics BD North East Electrics Pty Ltd as our new Gold Sponsor!

Led by Marcus Mackrell, BDNE Electrics is a fantastic local business with a great reputation in our community, and we’re thrilled to have them join Euroa Basketball.

A huge thank you to all three businesses for investing in our basketball community. Please support these incredible businesses that support us.

And stay tuned throughout our Term 4 season - we’ll be shining the spotlight on each of our gold sponsors, sharing a little more about who they are, what they do and the people behind them.

🏀 ROUND 1 - WHAT A START! 🏀

Euroa Basketball is back - and Round 1 was a big one!

Across Term 4 we have 17 teams competing, with 16 teams taking the court in Round 1 across Junior, Intermediate, Senior, Open A Grade and Open Social.

There were a few pretty special milestones in there too.

❤️ Our new Junior Grade hit the court for the first time, predominantly made up of our youngest Under 8 players.

🏀 We’re also back to having grades to place kids where they can learn, compete and enjoy their basketball.

🙌 And Open Social is back! Predominantly women this season, it was fantastic to see this grade on court again - with plenty of fun, movement and competitive basketball thrown in.

💅🏼 We also had our brand-new Euroa singlets arrive just in time for our Open A Grade and Social teams. A very special shout-out to Laura, who made the trip to Benalla to collect them so we could have everyone looking the part for Round 1!

And most importantly - there were some seriously close games.

Over the next few rounds we’ll continue watching results and making adjustments to teams where needed. The goal is simple: balanced games and players competing in their sweet spot, whether they’re brand new to basketball or have a few seasons under their belt.

It was also brilliant to have returning referees back at the club, alongside our wider referee crew. Having experienced refs build up the next group is a huge win for Euroa Basketball.

A massive thank you as well to all of our coaches, team managers, scorers and volunteers who made Round 1 happen. For some of our scorers, Tuesday night was their first time learning the job - exactly how community sport should work. We’ll keep rotating people through and helping more parents and players learn how scoring works as the season goes on.

And to the committee - we thank you for an epic effort in getting Round 1 going!

Bring on Round 2!

22/09/2026

🏀 TERM 4 OPEN A GRADE + SOCIAL TEAMS ARE HERE! 🏀

Our Open comps are locked and loaded for Term 4 - and it’s fantastic to see so many familiar faces returning to Euroa Basketball!

Our Open A Grade will feature five teams, with plenty of local basketballers returning from last season and previous seasons. We’re looking forward to getting everyone back on court for some good, competitive Tuesday night basketball. 🏀

⏱️ NEW THIS SEASON - DOUBLE HEADERS

We’ll be trialling a double-header format across selected rounds in A Grade this season to ensure even rounds and avoid as many byes as possible.

Fixtures are being finalised now, with all the details coming soon.

🏀 AND THEN THERE’S OPEN SOCIAL…

Turns out Euroa was very ready for social basketball!

Our new Open Social Grade was oversubscribed, so we’re going to run a biiiiig bench - plenty of rotations, plenty of laughs and, presumably, plenty of sweat. 😅

The focus here is exactly what we hoped for: getting more people on the court, whether you’ve never played, or are returning to basketball after a decent stint on the sidelines.

📋 SCORERS NEEDED

A reminder that each Open team needs to provide its own scorer for games. Please share the job around your team - no one needs to become the permanent Tuesday-night scorebench resident!

👋 MEET THE TEAM + COLLECT YOUR SINGLET

Stay tuned as the Committee pulls together a Meet the Team session for Sunday October 4. Come down, meet your teammates, say hello and collect your singlet ahead of our Round 1 opener on Tuesday October 6.

Open Social team announcement coming next. 👀

Bring on Term 4! 🏀

🏀 TERM 4 TEAMS ARE HERE! 🏀

What a response we’ve had to Term 4 basketball!

Registrations have been oversubscribed across our non-Open grades, which is an incredible position for Euroa Basketball to be in.

We know it’s disappointing for the families currently on our waitlists, and we’ll keep looking for opportunities to bring more players into the competition if places become available.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to grading - and especially to our volunteer coaches who have put their hands up to support our players this season. We have a great mix of returning coaches and some first-time EBA coaches, which is fantastic to see. We simply couldn’t run community basketball without them. 🙌

We’ll also be allocating team managers shortly. If you’re a parent who’d be happy to help your team in this role, please reach out!

🏀 A NOTE ABOUT GRADING

While we’ve done our best to create balanced teams from grading, the first few rounds will continue to form part of the team grading process.

There’s only so much you can learn from drills and short games. Once competition starts, we’ll get a much better picture of how the grades and teams are balanced.

That means players may move between teams during the first few rounds.

For our Junior Grade, there are no fixed teams. Our Joeys and Cubs players will be mixed into different teams each week, giving our youngest players the chance to play alongside different teammates and focus on learning, participation and having fun.

❤️ SUPPORTING OUR PLAYERS & COACHES

We’re also very excited to have Paul Allen, North East Bushrangers coach, roaming across the courts this season, supporting our volunteer coaches and helping them create positive, supportive team play.

We’ll also be introducing some adjusted rules across the competition designed to support development, participation and better all-round basketball. We’ll share more about those before Round 1.

Most importantly, this is community basketball. Play hard, be a great teammate, respect the refs and opposition, and help make Tuesday nights something our kids want to come back to every week.

Stay tuned as the Committee are pulling together a "Meet the Coach and Team” session for Sunday October 4th to come say hi, pick up your singlet and warm up before Round 1 Opener on October 6th.

Bring on Term 4! 🏀

🏀 SHE SHOOTS! - WHAT A NIGHT!

Our women’s She Shoots! session was such a fun night.

We had a mix of skills, plenty of laughs, and two games running with high rotations so everyone got lots of court time (and rest 😅).

The best part? We’ve had an excellent response to our new Open Social Competition, with a great group already signed up.

We’re now looking to fill the final few places for the comp.

It’s social, beginner-friendly and designed for those who want to get on court, have some fun and play basketball without taking it too seriously.

📸 Such a great group to kick things off with.

Final places now available — register before they’re gone.
