Portland Coasters

04/05/2026

Last night we wrapped up our Junior Coasters representative basketball season in the best way possible—packing out our home courts at The Lighthouse for our 2025/2026 rep season end-of-season celebrations! 🏀🔥🎉

Across 14 teams, we saw huge development, hard-earned wins, and countless moments of grit and growth. 📈💪 Getting our players and families, and dedicated coaches all in one room to celebrate the effort, teamwork, and pride they’ve shown all season was the perfect finish. 👏🥊

Now we reset and get ready to swing into the new season—coaching appointments are high on the agenda, and then it’s tryouts time! 📋🏀📣

Go Coasters🖤💛

🏆 DIV 4 CHAMPIONS 🏆
�These U12 boys just took out the Division 4 Championship at Junior Country Champs! 🏀🏀 Defeating Swan Hill by 5 points!

After a tough first day, they rallied, dug deep, and showed exactly what they are capable of — an outstanding display of teamwork, resilience and friendship. ✨

Huge congratulations to CJ and Magic for their hard work and belief in this group. 💪🏼

The U12 girls had some great contests and showed their fighting spirit to make the Div 4 semis - going down to Wonthaggi in a “Coasters-off”!! 💫

Well done to Mozza and Leigh for the work they have done with these girls. 👏
