Ballarat Basketball Association is developing its 2026–2029 Strategic Plan, and we want to hear from you. Whether you're a current player, parent, coach, volunteer, sponsor, or simply someone who cares about basketball in our region, your insights are invaluable in guiding the future direction of our association.

This survey will help us understand what's working well, where we can improve, and what opportunities exist to grow and strengthen basketball across Ballarat. Your feedback will directly inform our strategic priorities around participation, facilities, programs, governance, and community engagement over the next three years.

The survey takes just a few minutes to complete, and all responses are welcomed and appreciated. Together, we can build a thriving, inclusive, and sustainable basketball community for everyone in Ballarat.

Looking for a fun and inclusive activity? 🏀

Are you, or someone you know, looking to give basketball a go? We’re hosting two FREE basketball sessions!

Come along to learn new basketball skills, take part in fun games and activities, and meet new people in a welcoming environment.

No basketball experience needed. Everyone is welcome!

If you enjoy the sessions, speak to one of our coaches or staff members about joining our All Abilities Competition, starting in Term 4.
