ABOUT THE ORGANISATION 

Collingwood Basketball Association (CBA) operates at the centre of Melbourne’s inner north, delivering accessible and inclusive basketball opportunities across Collingwood and surrounding communities. 

The Association serves one of the most diverse basketball communities in Victoria. Based in the City of Yarra, our community reflects a wide range of backgrounds, identities and experiences including low socio-economic, LGBTQIA+, multicultural and First Nations communities. 

This diversity shapes how we operate. It informs program design, competition delivery, workforce support and community partnerships. Inclusion is embedded in day-to-day delivery and drives participation, trust and long-term sustainability. 

CBA delivers a broad range of basketball activity, including domestic competitions, representative programs and community initiatives. These programs are designed to be accessible, affordable and aligned to the needs of the local community. 

As an organisation, CBA plays a key role in connecting people through sport. The focus is on creating clear entry points, positive experiences and ongoing opportunities for participation across all levels of the game.
