Who are we at BA?
As the national governing body, Basketball Australia (BA), in conjunction with our State & Territory member associations, is at the forefront of promoting, fostering, and developing the sport of basketball across the country. BA is responsible for safeguarding the sport in Australia.
With a proud, rich history and a commitment to excellence, we are dedicated to growing the game. This mission of Australian Basketball is to be “Everybody’s Game” and BA will lead, connect and enhance the experience of the Australian basketball community.
BA proudly manages Australian national teams (Boomers & Opals, Rollers & Gliders, men’s and women’s 3x3 and junior national teams), athlete pathways, the Centre of Excellence facility, national championship events, major international events and leads community programs for the good of the whole sport.
We are excited to be launching the new Basketball Australia Strategic Plan (2025-2028), the Whole of Sport Basketball 2040 Vision and refreshed BA Values. These critical foundations, along with our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) (2024-2026), and BA’s Women & Girls Strategy will set our direction and represent how we will bring our mission to life.
