The Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) in which the Panthers play is an elite representative competition, where players both Boys and Girls will have the opportunity to represent Doncaster Basketball against other associations under the umbrella of Basketball Victoria.
The representative program is for players who are committed to developing their basketball skills and knowledge of the game.
All players in a team at representative level have an important role to play and due to the nature of the competition players are not guaranteed equal court time. Some determining factors for court time are a player’s attitude towards their teammates and their coach, their skill level, their willingness to listen, their commitment and the continual improvement required across the season.
Team selection is decided based upon a try out process.
Noting that sessions 3 or 4 are generally invite only.
Tryouts will close on Sunday 27th September 2026
