Sunbury Basketball Association Home of the Jets

Link Tree: https://linktr.ee/sunbury_jets Two new courts, including a Showcourt with 350 seat capacity, were opened in January 2013.

The Sunbury Basketball Association (“SBA”) was formed in the 1974 to cater for a need for a structured basketball organisation. In the early days, competitions were held at the Army facility in Diggers Rest before moving to Clarke Oval Reserve Stadium followed by a move to Boardman Stadium in the late 1980’s when there were only 2 courts which has subsequently grown to the current 4 courts. Over t

he past 40 years, the SBA has established itself as a community-based sporting organisation where families can participate at all age and skill levels. In addition to the SBA’s focus on providing everyone the opportunity to participate, we have a strong history of representative basketball. This is where our best players come together under the Sunbury Jets banner to compete in both junior and senior state-wide competitions. Our junior teams play in VJBL and Regional North West competitions across metropolitan Melbourne, and our history is dotted with teams that have won or contended for state championships. Our senior teams compete in BigV, which sees them pit their skills against the best metropolitan and country teams in Victoria. Our senior men and women programs have been successful over the last 15 years, with multiple playoff appearances. The senior men tasted the ultimate success in 1999, 2008 and 2009; the senior women were runner up in 1998 and 2009; and, the youth league men were runner up in 2009. As part of the SBA’s emphasis on development pathways, it entered youth league men in 2007 and youth league women in 2011. Taking Boardman Stadium to a total of 6 courts. Combined with our commitment to developing our people and culture, the SBA is confident of sustaining growth in participation, and improving the recreational experience of our participants.

WILL SCATCHARD – COACH OF THE YEAR

In Will’s second season as Youth League Men’s Head Coach, he guided the team from a relegation battle early in the season to an incredible second place finish, ending the regular season with an impressive 16–4 record.

WELL DONE! 💙

The Volunteer of the Month for September, goes to Julie McSwiggan from Rupertswood Basketball Club.

For around 15 years, Julie has been a valued and dedicated member of the Rupertswood Basketball Club family. She first became involved when her two sons started playing and has continued to give her time and support ever since.

Julie has served as Club Secretary for around 10 years and, more recently, also as the Child Welfare Officer. She is someone the club can rely on, always approaching situations calmly and with the best interests of the club and its members at heart.

Julie also puts her hand up for grant applications, helps polish club documents and is always willing to assist wherever needed - often quietly behind the scenes.

When asked why she volunteers, her response was simple: “I just wanted to help out.”

That pretty much sums her up. She doesn’t seek recognition; she simply sees something that needs doing and gets on with it.

Thank you, Julie, for your years of dedication, care and service to Rupo Basketball Club. We truly appreciate everything you do.

THANK YOU, WILL!

While we are incredibly sad to see him leave, we are proud of what he has achieved and excited for the next chapter of his journey.

Thank you, Will, for your energy, commitment and care. We wish you every success with your studies and know you will go on to achieve great things.

You’ll always be part of the SBA family. 💙

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR AUGUST REFEREE OF THE MONTH!

Grace continues to impress with her fantastic attitude and work ethic. Her ability to take on feedback, implement it into her refereeing and continually look for ways to improve has been outstanding.

She is always willing to put the team first, regularly stepping up to help when needed and picking up extra games to support her fellow officials and the wider referee program.

As a young referee with a great approach to her development, Grace has a very bright future ahead of her!
