Sunbury Basketball Association, SBA, serves Sunbury and the surrounding area on Melbourne's north western edge. The representative teams are the Jets.
Ten affiliated clubs operate inside the association. Your child joins one of those rather than the association directly.
| Program | Ages |
|---|---|
| Aussie Hoops | 5 to 8 |
| Mini Jets | U8, ages 6 to 7 |
| Future Jets | U10 |
| Rep-Ready | Preparing for representative tryouts |
Note that junior domestic starts at Under 12 here, so Mini Jets and Future Jets are the route for anyone younger rather than a graded team.
One thing Sunbury does well is publish what it costs to come and watch. Big V games are genuinely cheap family entertainment, and seeing senior basketball live is one of the better ways to get a young player interested.
| Who | Price |

| Adults | $10 |
| Pensioners | $5 |
| Children 12 to 18 | $5 |
| Children under 12 | Free |

Junior domestic requires no tryout. Contact the association and ask which of the ten affiliated clubs has room in your child's age group.
For the Junior Jets you need to attend tryouts. Rep-Ready is the program to ask about first if your child isn't there yet.
