Basketball Club

About us

The RMIT basketball club is based at Victoria University for the convenience of city-based campus students. We offer casual training sessions followed by casual pick-up, on Wednesday and Friday nights, all held at 'Victoria University, Footscray Park campus, Building L, Level 1 (6:30pm to 8pm)'.  

On Friday night, more organized team training drills for competitive registered teams is offered fortnightly for men and on the opposite fortnights for girls. Casual training is still offered on these nights. Two courts are hired to cater for all skills on Friday night.

We are currently registering as many teams as possible for the upcoming MCBA Sunday night and Sunday night only over the winter tournament. Try-outs are on the 10th and 24th of April for men, and the 17th for girls. Teams will be finalized this coming 24th at the end of the training, and spots are limited. MCBA is held at MSAC in Albert Park, and an additional separate payment is collected for those who made it on teams and choose to play competitively.

For those who were unable to show during try-outs, please email us for arrangements.

We begin by emphasizing the importance of conditioning. We begin by warming up, doing dynamic stretches, jogs and sprints. We then follow up with a lists of drill. The list will focus on a certain skill or two, whether is dribbling, passing, boxing, shooting, or defending. We then finish of the night with scrimmages. On Friday night, for more organised team, we run and practice game scenarios, testing game sense and knowledge.
