THE HOME OF INNER WEST MELBOURNE BASKETBALL

Westgate Basketball began in 2012 as a 12-team youth competition at Whitten Oval in Footscray. By 2014, the club had entered its first Imperials team in the VJBL.

Today, Westgate’s youth competition hosts over 240 teams, with 26 teams in the VJBL. In 2024, Westgate debuted in Big V with its Youth League 2 Men’s team. The Open Age competition has nearly 30 teams, and the Aussie Hoops program regularly attracts over 200 kids each term.

With over 3,000 members, Westgate is one of Victoria's fastest-growing basketball associations, recognized for high-quality programs and driven by dedicated volunteers. The club is working with Maribyrnong City Council on expanding to a new indoor facility at McIvor Reserve, Yarraville, and seeking further opportunities to meet growing demand in the inner-west.
