Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL)

The Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) is the premier junior basketball competition in Victoria, providing athletes with the opportunity to compete at the highest level of junior basketball in the state. The competition includes age groups from Under 12 to Under 20, for both boys and girls, and operates within a graded structure ranging from the Victorian Junior Championship League through to regional levels.

The Victorian Junior Championship League is recognised as the benchmark for elite junior competition, with athletes and teams striving for excellence on and off the court.

Craigieburn Eagles in the VJBL

Craigieburn Basketball Association (CBA) is proud to have a long-standing history in the VJBL. Over the years, the Eagles have:

• Successfully fielded teams across multiple age groups and divisions.
• Celebrated Championship wins and strong finals appearances.
• Helped develop players who have progressed into Big V and other elite programs.

In the 2025 season, the Eagles proudly entered 30 teams into the VJBL, reflecting both our growth as an Association and our commitment to developing players at all levels.

Player Development & Selection

At CBA, player development is our priority. Our VJBL program is designed to:

• Provide athletes with the opportunity to compete at their most appropriate level.
• Support growth in individual skills and basketball knowledge.
• Encourage teamwork, discipline, and respect for the game.

The selection process for a CBA VJBL team is conducted each year through a series of tryout sessions and practice games (typically in early October). This process allows our Selection Panel and Coaches to fairly assess players and place them in teams where they can compete, grow, and contribute most effectively.

Be Part of the Journey

Joining the VJBL is not just about competition — it’s about being part of a pathway that can take players from grassroots basketball all the way through to senior elite competitions.
