Knox Sporting Club (Phoenix) was founded in the mid eighties by Ralph Brown.  The Club initially had 2 sports under its umbrella, indoor cricket and basketball - hence the name.

Our actual basketball history began with an U18 mens’ side (for Ralphs’ boys), then a mixed team.  Gradually an U16 and U14 boys’ team came together and eventually and U8 girls’ team to accommodate his daughter.

 

Knox Basketball Association was established in the early 1970's to provide youth from the City of Knox with a sporting and social infrastructure to develop and promote personal, team and social skills in a sporting environment. The Association is run by an army of volunteers, a Chief Executive Officer, and a few full-time administrative staff based at the Knox Basketball Stadium in Park Crescent, Boronia. 
They are the only Association to employ a Director of Coaching on a full time basis, which has added great strength to our children's development program. Many committed youngsters are so keen that they rise in time to attend the stadium at 6:00 am on week days for additional training.

The Knox competition has evolved to be one of the strongest in Australia with a continually high level of membership. It is a non-profit association whose membership is comprised of basketball teams. All players in a team are considered members. The Association has maintained it's membership through innovative community programs and a philosophy of being run on a commercial footing.
