We aim to provide an exceptional experience fostering enjoyment and growth in a safe and inclusive environment. Initially known as the Hawthorn Basketball Association, we introduced a junior domestic competition in 1988 and our first Hawthorn Magic representative team in 1991. Over time, this entity evolved into Basketball Hawthorn, emerging as one of Basketball Victoria's largest affiliated associations, with a significant portion of its membership hailing from the City of Boroondara. Basketball Hawthorn oversees a thriving Senior Domestic Competition, participates in the EDJBA and VJBL as Hawthorn Magic, and offers various beginner and development programs and competitions. Basketball Hawthorn’s purpose is to deliver an exceptional basketball experience that supports the enjoyment and development of all individuals within a safe and inclusive environment. Our vision is to be the region's leading community sports organisation, welcoming and uniting all individuals regardless of background, beliefs or ability. Basketball Hawthorn by the numbers:
