Camden Valley Basketball Association plays as the Camden Valley Wildfire across the Camden and Liverpool areas.

Last updated 9 October 2026.
Camden Valley Basketball Association Inc, known as Wildfire, is a not-for-profit, community-run association endorsed by Basketball NSW, which lists it as Camden Valley Basketball among its affiliated associations. It says it runs junior and senior competitions across the Camden and Liverpool areas, from primary school and high school age through to youth and adults, as well as development programs.
Three venues matter to parents. Oran Park Leisure Centre hosts the current junior local competitions and many programs. Thomas Hassall Anglican College in Middleton Grange hosts most rep trials, rep home games and some programs. Mt Annan Leisure Centre hosts rep home games and Aussie Hoops.
Wildfire says it is represented in most junior age groups from Under 12 to Under 18, in both boys and girls teams, and in the senior Waratah league.
Wildfire's 2027 rep trials run over three consecutive weeks, in the weeks starting Monday 12 October, Monday 19 October and Monday 26 October 2026. Week 3 is an invite-only callback session; after the second trial, Wildfire posts online the list of names invited back.
Players new to rep basketball, or new to Wildfire, must come to both Week 1 and Week 2. Players who were in a 2026 Wildfire rep team can skip Week 1 with no mark against them, but they need to be at Week 2 to be in the running for a callback. Miss both of the first two weeks and there is no Week 3 session, with no exceptions. Any absence must be notified in advance.
Trials are at Thomas Hassall Anglican College, 125 Kingsford Smith Ave, Middleton Grange NSW 2171, entering via Flynn Avenue Gate 2. Under 16 boys trial at Oran Park Leisure Centre instead, in two randomly allocated groups that run the same way. Each trial is 90 minutes, and Week 1 starts with Under 12 girls and boys on Monday 12 October from 6pm.
The trial fee is a one-off $50, paid by card or cash at your first session, and Wildfire's rule is no payment, no trial. Get there 30 minutes before your session to collect an ID number, and bring a light and a dark reversible singlet or shirt, a ball and water. Registration is through the Google form linked from the trials page. Age divisions for 2027 are Under 12 (born 2016, 2017 or 2018), Under 14 (2014 or 2015), Under 16 (2012 or 2013) and Under 18 (2010 or 2011).
If your child is selected, Wildfire emails an offer and you have 48 hours to commit for 2027. Players who previously played rep at another association must lodge the Basketball NSW Intent to Trial form or they cannot trial. Wildfire accepts at most two transfers per age group from another Metro Junior League association, and families who have moved into the Wildfire catchment can apply not to be counted as a transfer. A selected player from another association also needs a Basketball NSW clearance from their previous association, which can be rejected for matters such as outstanding fees.
Wildfire publishes its 2027 Metro Junior League (MJL) fees, as published when we checked on 9 October 2026: $1,050 for an MJL squad player and $800 for a development team player, paid by instalments under a payment plan provided on selection.
New rep players buy a personalised reversible ($60), and any player without them needs Wildfire shorts ($40) and a warm-up top ($40). A hoodie is optional at $65. The training and local competition uniform is a reversible ($60) and shorts ($40).
Every player selected in an MJL or junior development team must also register in one of Wildfire's junior local competitions, which Wildfire calls non-negotiable. Rep teams play in the Waratah league weekly through the winter season, with juniors playing on Sundays against representative teams from across greater Sydney.

Development teams have their own coach and training schedule, play in the Barrengarry Conference and/or other competitions or tournaments, and players can be called up to a rostered spot in an MJL team at the head coach's discretion. The 2027 fee is $800.
