The stadium is at 33 Sheahans Road, Bulleen 3105. Plenty of people call it the Templestowe stadium, and the club that lives there's the Bulleen Templestowe Basketball Club, so both names get used. The postal suburb is Bulleen.
It sits inside Sheahans Reserve, and the venue is listed by Active Manningham, the council's own active living service, so if your maps app offers you Sheahans Reserve rather than the stadium, take it. You'll end up in the right place.
The EDJBA, which fixtures junior games here, lists the venue as 33 Sheahans Road reserve, Bulleen 3105, and splits it into three courts named Blue, White and Gold. Those colour names will appear on your fixture instead of court numbers, which throws first timers every time.
There are two indoor sports halls. Each can be configured as a single or a double court, and the line markings allow up to three basketball games to run at the same time. That's why the fixture shows three courts rather than two halls.
The practical effect is that Blue, White and Gold aren't three identical rooms side by side. Walk in and look for the court name on the wall rather than assuming they run left to right, and ask at reception on the first visit rather than guessing.
The site also has a multipurpose meeting room, offices and change rooms, and there's a cafe on site.
This is the home of the Bulleen Templestowe Basketball Club. Beyond that, the venue hosts training sessions and camps, primary school basketball, women's daytime basketball, and games for both the Eastern Districts Junior Basketball Association and the Victorian Junior Basketball League.
The club itself runs a wide spread of competitions: a junior community league based around schools, junior domestic from Under 8s to Under 21s on Saturdays, junior championship teams in the VJBL, senior domestic social league from fifteen years and up, senior championship in the Big V, the Eastern Development League, a 3x3 competition, and tournaments including a King's Birthday tournament and the Spring Showdown.
For a parent, the line that matters is junior domestic on Saturdays. That's the entry point, and it's the competition most children in this part of Manningham start in.
Navigate to the street address rather than the club name, because the club name will send some apps to a postal address instead. Allow a little time on a Saturday morning, because the venue sits inside a sports reserve that carries more than basketball, and the stadium is one building among several on the site.
It's worth saying plainly what's not published: the stadium's own listing doesn't spell out how many car parking spaces there are. Treat it like any council reserve on a Saturday, arrive a bit early, and be ready to park on the reserve access road rather than right at the door.
The last part of the trip is ordinary suburban street driving, with the usual congestion that a stadium changeover creates in a residential area. Drop off, then park, rather than trying to do both in one move at five minutes to tip off.
The venue's published hours are 8am to 11pm Monday to Friday, 8am to 10pm Saturday and Sunday, and closed on public holidays. Junior domestic sits inside the Saturday window.
One thing to know before you drive over for a casual shoot: the courts aren't available for casual use. Everything is by booking. If you want your child on a court outside their scheduled game and training, this isn't the venue to just turn up to, and you'll need to look at outdoor courts or a venue that runs casual shooting sessions.
Court hire is handled by the venue and the club has a separate office line, so if you're trying to book a court for a birthday or an extra session, expect to be passed between the two.
Three games running in two halls makes for a busy but not overwhelming morning. It's smaller and quieter than the big multi court stadiums in the east, which suits a lot of younger kids on their first day.
Bring a water bottle and a snack even though there's a cafe on site, because a cafe queue at changeover with a hungry Under 10 is its own kind of misery.
Get the court colour from your fixture before you leave home and say it out loud to your child in the car. Walking into a strange stadium and knowing you're on Gold is a surprisingly settling thing for a nervous nine year old.
