ABOUT US
Mountain Tigers Basketball Club is one of the largest and most progressive junior basketball clubs in the Knox Association. We cater for boys and girls across all age groups from Under 8 to Under 23.
Age groups from Under 8 up to and including Under 16 play on Saturdays whilst Under 19 and 23 play on Sunday evenings.
The club has a sound administrative and coaching structure. We have a Basketball Development Officer and a development program to ensure consistency in the way in which the children are taught the basics of the game. Each season a number of coaches are funded through the Basketball Victoria Level 1 coaching course and there are several experienced coaches available to help those who are taking it on for the first time.
If you are looking for somewhere for you child to learn to play basketball then speak to one of our age group co-ordinators and come along to a training session. You will be made most welcome and will see for yourself why we believe we are one of the most progressive and best run clubs around.
