Junior Rep Basketball - Season 2024/2025

Mansfield Basketball provides pathways for players that wish to extend their basketball beyond their domestic competition.  

The MDBA Rep Program includes weekly training sessions with participation in approximately six tournaments scattered throughout Victoria.   A major highlight is representing MDBA at Country Championships.

The season typically starts in September and usually ends in April.

If selected, players are expected to attend weekly Training Sessions and be available for all Tournaments including Country Championships.  

Commitment to the program is therefore paramount, and families/players are urged to consider this prior to committing to a team. Please refer to the IMPORTANT INFORMATION attached for further information.
