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 and in 2019 expanded its footprint to also operate at RecWest Braybrook.

Today, Westgate’s youth competition hosts over 300 domestic teams, with 32 teams in the VJBL. In 2024, Westgate debuted in Big V with its Youth League 2 Men’s team, taking home the Premiership in our first season of the competition and moving up to Division 1 in 2025. Also in 2025 Westgate will debut a Women's team in Youth League 2 giving our young athletes a pathway to play highly competitive women's sport.

Westgate's Open Age competition has nearly 60 teams, and the Aussie Hoops program regularly attracts over 225 kids each term.

With over 4,200 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 Council on development of a new indoor facility at McIvor Reserve, Yarraville, and seeking further opportunities to meet growing demand in the Brimbank Council area.
