14.01.2022 Mentioned in Big V’s photo of the decade Who remembers this dunk?

14.01.2022 Another step closer... #Hoopsathomeandoutdoors

13.01.2022 In current times a lot of challenges are thrown at you... heres another one from Chris Johnson... around the back challenge... how many can you do???

12.01.2022 We were so close but as most are possibly aware we are now going back into lockdown from Midnight tonight. What we know is all venues will be shut as of Midnight tonight, VJBL is cancelled for the 2019/20 Season and we are working with VJBL in regards to resumption and what we can salvage from the 2019/20 season. Big V is also cancelled for 2020. Domestic programs are postponed and new season dates are being planned, Aussie Hoops is postponed till term 4. Anyone that has pai...d their BV Membership can be satisfied to learn that the 12 months of membership will not commence until we do. Any Senior teams that have entered competitions will be transferred over to the new start date when it has been organised. Any Aussie Hoopers registered for term 3 will be transferred to Term 4 and be contacted when a new start date can be determined. What we dont know is when venues will re-open, will it be in 6 weeks or 12, this will be discussed over the following months and a new plan of resumption of competitions will follow. The good news is most of the hard work is done in regards to return to play plans and when we get to come back we already know how we will do it with plans approved by Venues, sure there might be some tweeking but we are already to go when we get the chance. The likelihood of us coming back and straight into tryouts for VJBL and BIG V are high and we want you to be in the best shape possible. The important thing for now is to stay safe, stay at home but also keep training. #bredlife #stengthinnumbers #maroonandgold

11.01.2022 Once a year on the 11th day of the 11th month, we pause & gather to respect, honour & remember our fallen soldiers, our veterans both past & present. We must take the time to reflect upon those who have lost their lives, so we may live ours. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. ... Lest We Forget...

11.01.2022 Here we have BV’s updated Return to Sport update...

11.01.2022 IMPORTANT NEWS: WE ARE GOOD TO GO.... In light of the current situation everyone has been in with a shut down happening in March, we have now finally seen the light to return to competition. Due to the time in between we unfortunately have walked away from the Summer Season without completion and as such a No Result of that season has been decided. ... We are getting back to basketball which makes us all winners and we move forward to a short but sweet Winter 2020 Season. Junior Domestic will be able to commence training from the 13th July with a back to competition date of the 18th July. Aussie Hoops will be back in Melton Only at this stage from the 15th July with Caroline Springs to Commence in Term 4. Senior Domestic to commence from Monday the 20th July. Changes you will notice when visiting our Venues are Separate Entry and Exit Points, a new system for registration, Sanitiser on entry for Basketballs and Hands, Sanitiser on Scoretables, and a 20 min gap between games to Sanitise areas, This will be our new normal for now. What we are looking for now is commitment from our members so we can start preparing fixtures and personnel to make sure we provide a safe environment for all to return to Basketball. We hope all have been well during the last 3 months and look forward to seeing everyone as we ease back into the game we love.
