The Camberwell Basketball program provides an opportunity for all athletes to develop to their full potential and compete at the highest possible level. Our basketball program enables you to practice and improve your skills with our coaches, as well as to contribute to a strong sense of team and sporting community.
Primary School Coaching Clinics
Attention Primary School sporting masters and parents. Camberwell Basketball offers programs dedicated to Primary Schools. The most popular is on site visits, organised through the school, where our coach(es) will take a class group in basketball fundamentals, shooting clinics, whatever is required. This is a free of charge service and is designed for the varying levels of basketball experience.

Development Squad
The development of our junior players is integral to the success of the Camberwell Dragons. We have four affiliated clubs in the EDJBA competition and twelve through the Community Basketball League, giving us over 5,000 affiliated members.
We understand the importance of developing all of our members and affiliated members, giving all players an opportunity at a young age to learn from a range of coaches within the association. Our development squad runs weekly throughout school Term 3 and is suited to players aged 8-11 who have played some or domestic basketball and are looking to improve their skills and get a taste of “Representative basketball” style training.
