Camberwell Community Basketball League Opens Winter 2026 Registration With Early Bird Pricing
Families can sign up for the Community Basketball League's Winter 2026 season through the Camberwell District Basketball Association with early bird pricing available until March 1.
How we reported this
Registrations for the Community Basketball League Winter 2026 season opened recently through the Camberwell District Basketball Association. The league fields over 530 teams across 12 clubs and covers boys and girls from Under 8 to Under 22.
The timing aligns with the annual winter cycle that begins after the summer break. Clubs in Camberwell use the period to confirm rosters before games start at venues such as Kew High, Boroondara Sports Complex, Camberwell High and Greythorn Primary.
Age groups and session times
Under 7 and Under 8 teams play on Friday afternoons with lowered rings. Older groups compete on Saturdays and Sundays through Under 22. The Camberwell District Basketball Association has run the league since its launch in February 2022, when it started with 450 teams.
Parents register through one of the 12 domestic clubs that feed into the competition. Each club handles its own team formation once early numbers are confirmed.
Fees and deadlines
Early bird club fees sit at $315 until March 1, a $50 saving on the standard $365 rate. The Camberwell District Basketball Association lists these prices on its registration portal for the coming winter season.
Local options beyond basketball include the Camberwell Sharks junior football club, which fields more than 650 players aged 8 to 17 in the Yarra Junior Football League, and the Camberwell Lacrosse Club, founded in 1927 and open from Under 11 to seniors. Contact details for each appear on the Camberwell District Basketball Association site and the individual club pages.
Prospective players should visit the Camberwell District Basketball Association registration page or contact one of the 12 clubs directly to select an age group and confirm available teams before the March 1 early bird cutoff.
