we entered one mixed team and grew from there!

Indigenous round 
Pictured is Aberfeldie Jets U12 player Jada Ross proud Juru, Kaanju, Wokka Wokka and Torres Strait Islander girl, wearing the Indigenous themed uniform featuring her logo, holding a canvas that will be displayed at the Keilor Basketball Stadium, with her logo on it.
At Aberfeldie Jets, we are passionate about Reconciliation. On Sunday 21 July 2019 in conjunction with The Long Walk and Keilor Basketball Association we held our inaugural Indigenous Round. Understanding and respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous people is what Reconciliation is all about and we believe every Australian should play a part. Our event showcased The Little Long Walk, a performance by The Indigenous Hip Hop Project, Australian Native ingredient Cake sale, Indigenous face-painting and a showcase game of young local Indigenous basketball players who played a game wearing singlets with artwork designed by Aberfeldie Jets U12 player and proud Juru, Kaanju, Wokka Wokka and Torres Strait Islander girl Jada Ross. The Keilor Thunder Big V Championship Men and Women also wore Indigenous themed uniforms featuring Jada's logo. Check out the photos and read more about our inaugural Indigenous round here. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 the planned 2020 Indigenous Round couldn't go ahead. Keilor Basketball Association are busy organising the 2021 Indigenous Round however. |

Zip it! Stop the abuse towards referees
The Keilor Basketball Association have seen a recent spike in negative behaviour from spectators towards referees at Junior Domestic on Saturday's and quite frankly some of the behaviour is downright appalling. Under no circumstances is anyone to approach (or heckle) referees (during or) after the game. If you have an issue with referees you need to submit your complaint in writing to your respective Club or fill out the KBA’s online feedback form found here. 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 be that parent! Spectators can be reported and suspended too. If you feel so passionately about refereeing feel free to sign up to the next referees course and make a difference. We need referees to play! Please treat them with respect. |
