Eltham Wildcats Big V Game Booklet - Sunday 21st April

Proudly supported by

WELCOME

Welcome back to Eltham High School for round 5 of the Big V Youth League season.

The Youth Women are still hunting their elusive first win of the VYCW division and after two games falling short by a single shot they are ever so close to capturing it. The Cobras are in the same boat 0-5 and are playing for the same result. Last week Kayla Murphy starred for the Cobras with 18 points so she will be one to shut down. Our Women had a bye last week and will be coming off a game last night on the road in Altona. Justine Walker has been in great form so expect more from her while senior players Kiara Mountford, Jamie Weddle and Meg Stagoll will look to step up.

The Youth Men are looking to bounce back after a loss to the Sabres last Sunday. A full line should mean a great performance for coach Rod Degenhardt and his group. The trio of Agosta, Cunningham and Alexander will look to take over the game today. Amos Harvey was great last week for Nunawading with 22 points so expect the Wildcats defence to pay attention to him today.

We wish all teams the best of luck and we encourage all spectators to cheer on 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.
