Competition Overview

Eastside Knights Limited is Proud to host the Eastside Junior Basketball Competition

Our premier community-based competition that gives young athletes of all ages and abilities the opportunity to play the game we love, year-round.

Year-Round Competition

The EJBC runs across two structured seasons, ensuring consistent opportunity for participation as well as pathways for player growth and development:

Summer Season: Term 4 & Term 1
Winter Season: Terms 2 & 3

This model provides continuous opportunities for juniors to engage, learn, and compete in a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Backed by Our Clubs

With the support of 8 member clubs and schools, EJBC caters for players from Under 8s through to Youth League (U23s). The competition is tailored to suit young basketballers at every stage, offering age-appropriate divisions and game times proven to work for families.

Game Schedule

Saturday Mornings: U8s, U10s, U12s, U14 Girls
Friday Nights: U14 Boys
Wednesday Nights: U16 Boys
Tuesday Nights: U18 Boys, Youth League (U23 Men & Women)

Pathways Beyond Domestic

The EJBC isn’t just about competition — it’s also a proven pathway to representative basketball. Players with the drive to take their game further have the chance to progress into our Eastside Knights Representative Program, which competes at state and national levels.

Feedback and Incident Report Form

At Eastside Knights Basketball, we are committed to setting and upholding the highest standards of behaviour, fairness and integrity across our association. These expectations apply to everyone involved in our community including EKB officials and committee members, referees, venue coordinators, coaches, players, parents and spectators.

Our Feedback and Incident Report forms provide the official channel for coaches, players and parents to submit formal feedback or report any incidents that occur during the course of a game. The information you share helps us strengthen our processes, address concerns appropriately and ensure that the standards we set are consistently met throughout the association.

Your input plays an important role in helping us maintain a safe, respectful and positive environment for all participants.
