WELCOME
Welcome back to Eltham High School for another round of Big V Youth League action. Tonight, we welcome the Bendigo Braves and Dandenong Rangers to the North East in another great evening of hoops at Eltham High School.
The Youth Women have been playing well and are full of confidence after securing their first win of the season against Knox. Tonight, we play against the 5th placed Bendigo Braves who feature the talented Lavinia Cox, Jessica Smith and Caitlin Richardson. Our Women will need to be at their best to get a win here.
The Youth Men are playing a solid Dandenong Rangers outfit this evening. Jett Garnham, Lochlin Harvey & Dean Simos are all key contributors for the visitors. An NBL1 double header tonight will mean Sam Alexander and Zac Anderson will need to step their game up while valuable contributions are needed from James Toohey, Kofi Aden and Riley Castles.
As always, we wish all teams the best of luck and we encourage all spectators to support their team loud, proud, and respectfully.
Go Wildcats!

ABOUT US
The Eltham Wildcats Basketball Club had humble beginnings from basketball activities within Eltham High School. After a series of informal games against various schools, the first two teams were entered into an organised competition, the Presbyterian Men’s Basketball Association in the winter season of 1965.
From these beginnings, the Club, has developed and grown to now cater for 6,000+ participants, both male and female of all ages It has a turnover of $4 million and a team of paid employees working out of offices at Eltham High School & Montmorency Secondary College. This team is underpinned by a large group of casual employees and dedicated volunteers. We provide pathways for players, coaches, technical officials and administrators starting with our extensive range of beginner programs, our junior domestic Wildcat teams (playing in the EDJBA), our junior championship teams (playing in the VJBL) and our local adult competitions held Monday - Thursday nights.
At an elite level, the club has men ’ s and women ’ s teams playing in the Youth (u23) competitions run by Basketball Victoria’s ‘Big V’. In 2018. the Eltham Wildcats were accepted as a foundation member of the inaugural NBL1 competition, the premier winter competition in Australia and supported by the National Basketball League
The Club exists to serve the surrounding community through the provision of opportunities for recreation, enjoyment and the pursuit of excellence, for all those who wish to participate, irrespective of age, gender or ability. For these reasons, the Club runs a diverse programme to cater for the variety of interests of the members of the community.
We’ve hosted our annual January basketball tournament for over 50 years, in conjunction with Dandenong Basketball Association since 1996. It is the largest junior basketball tournament in the world with participants from all over Australia and New Zealand. In recent times, we ’ ve seen teams compete from USA, China, FIJI, Lithuania and Singapore. The 2024 event had 15,238 players playing for 1,673 teams
