Established in 1979, Aberfeldie Jets Basketball Club is almost 40 years old!
From humble beginnings with not enough kids to form two single sex teams,
we entered one mixed team and grew from there!
We now have over 950 children participating in over 110 teams in the Keilor Basketball Association's junior domestic competition and our Junior Jets skills development clinic for kids aged 6 - 10 years!
We welcome new players with or without experience from U10's through to U19's.

Seeking ex-referees to return to refereeing. Why not return to the whistle and help make a difference at our Association?
The VBRA Keilor branch is looking for ex-referees to return to the courts particularly on a Saturday and help with their referee shortage.
Can you help or know someone that can?
Many hands make light work and we'd love to see ex-referees back on the courts allowing our kids to keep playing our great game in a safe, supported and fun environment.
The referee return course is for ex-referees who haven't refereed in over 5 years. Sign up here.
If you have refereed in the last 5 years but are no longer active but are able to help out, they'd love to hear from you too. Please contact the VBRA Keilor here.

Basketball court shortages in the Moonee Valley municipality.
The Aberfeldie Jets are a growing and vital ingredient in our local community. We have been bringing together children and their parents, helping kids gain confidence, be a part of a team, have fun and play basketball for 40 years now, aiming to do our best to shape and support our local community. However as remarkable as we are, our club does not have a home. We have over 110 teams playing and a waiting list of almost 400 children. Aberfeldie Jets do our best to support all our members, but it is increasingly hard to do so when we have no home courts or Club rooms. We are in desperate need of a local indoor basketball facility. As you may already know we currently do not have any highball (multi sport) stadiums in our municipality for sports like basketball and netball. We desperately need a 6 court stadium so that our kids can play the sports they love in our municipality instead of travelling to other municipality to utilise their facilities. Moonee Valley City Council kicked off the Quinn Grove project in early 2019 and are gathering information from people who have an interest in the precinct. They've been surveying the community and also have a community consultation group happening. We will update this info when we know more. |

Know when to walk away - let them play
We want our children to be able to play in a safe, competitive and supportive environment. It is NEVER acceptable to verbally or physically assault another person and that includes at basketball. The Keilor Basketball Association's Participant Behaviour Policy and Basketball Victoria's Codes of Conduct clearly outline acceptable behaviour. Have a read and remember, sometimes the best thing to do when your emotions are getting the better of you is to just WALK AWAY. Don't become a tribunal statistic and miss seeing your son or daughter play because you couldn't control your emotions.

Stop the abuse, respect the game!
Time Out: The Culture of Referee Abuse | Zach Altman | TEDxSanAntonio A brilliant piece by 19 year old basketball referee Zach Altman. This behaviour needs to stop. “The way we currently treat referees is despicable, It’s disgusting and above all it’s disheartening. I mean where did common decency go, what are we showing our kids by role modelling abusive behavior, are we ok with teaching them authority doesn’t matter?” |
