Diamond Valley Basketball Association

If there is one person who embodies the spirit of the St Martin Panthers, it is Leigh-Anne Perillo.

Leigh-Anne became involved with the club in 2001 when her eldest son began playing basketball in Grade 1. Having played basketball herself, she wanted her children to experience the same enjoyment and quickly became one of the club’s most dedicated volunteers. To read more, click below:

For nearly two decades, the Boek family has been synonymous with dedication, leadership and community at Diamond Valley Basketball Association (DVBA). From players and coaches to referees, volunteers and administrators, every member of the family has played a role in helping shape the association both on and off the court.

The Boek family’s journey through DVBA began with their four children, Tom, Ash, Will and Jess, all proudly wearing the Eagles colours from Under 12s through to Under 18s, with several continuing into Under 20s and Youth League basketball. Along the way, they became much more than talented players. Each embraced opportunities to give back to the game, creating a family legacy built on service and commitment.

Partnership announcement!

We’re excited to announce Therma-Safe Insulation Industries as the new sponsor of Diamond Valley Basketball Association’s (DVBA) Inclusion Programs.

For Therma Safe, inclusion isn’t about giving people special treatment. It’s about making sure everyone has the same opportunity to take part - and recognising that sometimes, you need to find a different way to get there.

That belief aligns strongly with our vision at DVBA: creating a basketball community where people of all abilities can participate, connect, build friendships and enjoy being part of a team.

Therma Safe’s support will help us create more opportunities for people to get involved, remove barriers to participation and, most importantly, have a go and enjoy the game.

The partnership is particularly meaningful for Therma Safe owner Mary Elliott, whose personal experiences have shaped her strong belief in creating opportunities for everyone.

We’re incredibly proud to welcome Therma Safe Insulation to the DVBA family and thank them for supporting our commitment to making sure everyone has a place in the game.
