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 118 teams playing, 5 classes of weekly skills sessions and a long waiting list. 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. Our Club uses eight local venues to train at and our Association uses 22 courts across 11 venues each Saturday to play on. Our families are forced to drive all over northern and western Melbourne because we don’t have enough courts in Moonee Valley. This is difficult, costly and unfair on our families. For example, families with two or more children can be forced to be in two places at once, or drive long distances to give their children access to basketball games. Public transport to these venues isn’t workable.
Our children are being turned away from our game because we don’t have a highball stadium in Moonee Valley. It’s become urgent for Council to take action. We don’t have enough courts for our children to play the game they love. We are one of the largest junior basketball clubs in Australia, in addition to the 1,000 plus players we have involved, we also have 200 plus children on a waiting list because there aren’t enough courts for them. Because we don’t have enough courts, our association is forced to put a cap on our entire junior competition, restricting the number of children who can play. Is this a good outcome for our kids … No! A new stadium will help us remove this restriction and give all our children what they want – a basketball home to have fun, build their confidence, make new friends, learn what it’s like to be a good team mate and … play basketball.
We are in desperate need of a local indoor basketball facility. The Moonee Valley City Council do not have any highball (multi sport) stadiums in our municipality for sports like ours to use. 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.

Basketball Coaches wanted for boys and girls teams – can you help our players grow at the grass roots level of domestic basketball?
Are you thinking about coaching your child's team or know someone who might be interested? Aberfeldie Jets Registrars are already busy behind the scenes looking at teams for the Winter Season starting in Term 2 season and we’ve identified we need more coaches. Some coaches won’t continue due to other commitments so we will need to replace them, additionally we will also be looking to create a few new teams in the younger age groups comprising of children from our Junior Jets clinics and wait list. Without coaches we can't get kids playing.
If you have a passion for helping teach basketball, enjoy working with kids and want to help our game continue to grow then volunteer to coach a team! Coaching is the lifeblood of any sporting club. Without people willing to give up their time to invest in helping young players and role modelling for young people, clubs don’t succeed. Just as the quality of a school teacher determines the success and future of their students, so to do coaches for basketball clubs. Aberfeldie Jets are happy to provide assistance and education, which includes a Coach induction session, discounted registration rate for coach’s children and support as needed from our Coaching Director. We also reimburse Coaches who attend Basketball Australia accredited coaching courses.
Aberfeldie Jets teams train one hour per week (teams are scheduled a regular one hour session Monday to Thursday between 4:00pm to 9:30pm depending on Coach and court availability) and play on Saturday’s in the Keilor Basketball Association Junior Domestic competition.
We are a welcoming and friendly club who have recently celebrated our 40 year anniversary, we want to see kids develop confidence, make friends and participate in the sport we love! Your involvement can help foster good sportsmanship, stronger, healthier, happier and safer community, enabling many children to be active.
We are committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people. We abide by the Basketball Victoria Member Protection Bylaws which outline the screening process for people in our Club who volunteer (committee members, coaches and team managers). In accepting a volunteer role, you are agreeing to supply a current WWCC (unless you are underage, recognised as a teacher or in the police force) and must complete a member protection statutory declaration.
