ABOUT BORONIA BUFFALOES

The Boronia Buffaloes Basketball Club has teams playing basketball in Knox from U/8's through to U/23's.

Teams train once a week at the Knox Stadium in Boronia and we have a great group of coaches that work hard to ensure your child not only learns the skills and drills needed to play - but also to have fun!

Under 8's through to Under 16's play on a Saturday at a number of venues around Knox, while under 18's, 20's and 23's play on a Sunday evening.

Boronia Buffaloes also have a hard working and dedicated committee that makes sure all it's players, coaches and parents enjoy their time with us.

 

HISTORY

The Boronia Basketball Club was originally called The Boronia Baptist Boys Brigade Basketball Club. The Boys Brigade leaders and parents formed the Basketball Club in May 1985. Boys Brigade is an organization similar to the Scouts, and is an outreach of the Baptist Church.

Training commenced with 26 boys in May 1985.The Club became associated with the Knox Amateur Basketball Association (KABA) in August 1985 when 2 boys teams were entered for the Spring 1985 season.

The first committee was informally assembled in April 1986.  The committe consisted of:

  • The pastor of the Boronia Baptist Church, Rev. Peter Clark as honorary President
  • John Anderson as Vice President
  • Colette Anderson as Secretary
  • Toni Cornelius as Treasurer.

At the first Annual General Meeting, held on 16th June 1986, these positions were confirmed.

The Club grew steadily and due to an increasing number of non-Boys Brigade families, the Club became independent of the Boronia Baptist Church. The Club was incorporated in December 1988 and changed its came to the Boronia Basketball Club Inc.

In May 1989, the first girl's teams were entered into the KABA competition for the Winter 1989 season. In Winter 1992, white blue mesh shorts where introduced for boys and navy blue for girls. Navy blue mesh tops were phased in from Summer 1993-94.

The Club has always awarded trophies to players at the end of each season on a Trophy Presentation Day. The Club has always appreciated Club loyalty. Ten Season awards were first presented at the end of the Summer 1990-91 season. Since then 15, 20 and 25 season awards have been presented.
