🌟 WELCOME TO THE TEAM 🌟

A warm welcome and thank you to Ferntree Gully Falcons Basketball Club for supporting our Nationals campaign and our Knox Raiders 14.1 boys! 🏀💙

Two of our boys, Flynn and Jude, have spent heir whole basketball journey playing at Ferntree Gully Falcons. The connection goes even further, with our coaching team also having a special history with the club. Our coaching team have played and coached at Falcons, and have had their children playing there. This kind of connection speaks volumes about the people, relationships and community that make a club special. 💙

When our boys step onto the court in Perth, they won’t just be taking their basketball skills with them. They’ll be taking all of those lessons and experiences that have helped shape them along the way.

Thank you, Ferntree Gully Falcons, for reminding our boys that basketball is about so much more than the game itself. 💙🏀

Rivals for 40 minutes - teammates every day 🩵⚪️💙🏀🩷🩵

On the domestic court last week, these boys found themselves on opposite sides of the scoreboard. There was plenty of competitive spirit as teammates became opponents. But that's the beauty of community basketball!
The game ends, the jerseys change, and they're straight back to being teammates with one shared goal – representing Knox Raiders at the 2026 Australian Club Championships.

The friendships the boys have built, the respect they show one another, and the team-first culture they're creating is what they should be most proud of.

PINK ROUND IS BACK 💗

From 24th to 27th July, VBRA Knox is turning the courts pink in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation and breast cancer research. Pink Round is one of VBRA Knox’s annual community fundraising initiatives.

Players, coaches, officials and spectators are encouraged to wear pink throughout the round.

Pink socks will be available for $15 at the State Basketball Centre.

Wear your pink, get behind a great cause and help us fill the courts with colour! 🎀
