WESTSIDE JUNIOR BASKETBALL

The Woodville District Basketball Club's development pathway is through the Westside Basketball Club. 

Letter from the President - Steve Walker

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! 🏀💚

Woodville District Basketball Club is proud to be one of the four founding district clubs behind the launch of the Adelaide Junior Basketball League (AJBL)– a true league for junior players right here in Adelaide.

This new league is a game-changer, providing opportunities for young athletes who may or may not have had the chance to play district basketball. It’s a key initiative within Woodville’s 4-Year Strategic Plan, designed to develop our juniors’ skills and create a clear, structured pathway from domestic basketball into district basketball.

As part of this exciting change, the Westside Basketball Association will now become the Westside Basketball Club – officially becoming the true pathway feeder club from domestic basketball into the Woodville District Basketball Club.

If you’d like to be part of the Westside Basketball Club and take advantage of these exciting opportunities email admin@westsidebball.com.au

We can’t wait to see the positive impact the AJBL and these changes will have on our players, our club, and the wider basketball community. 💚🏀

#AJBL #WoodvilleBasketball #WestsideBasketball #PathwayToDistrict

Our competition is aimed at players who are just starting basketball, players who want to improve their basketball skills and players who want to get more exposure to match play in a fun and competitive environment.

The Westside Basketball Club is a coordinated introductory program covering all children and schools across the western suburbs. 

We aim to:

• have development programs to improve each child's confidence and abilities
• caters for all age groups, genders, cultures and socio-economic backgrounds to have the opportunity to be involved with the game of basketball
• have a strong local area competition that enables regular participation and development opportunities in a game setting for participants who do not yet have District Basketball skills or ambitions
• provides a pathway between entry programs and the District level of basketball
• offers an alternative level of commitment to District Basketball when the training sessions, travelling to other basketball stadiums and expenditure of District basketball may not suit all families
