Camberwell Dragons 14.1 Boys are going to Basketball Australia’s Foot Locker National Club Championships in September.

They’re the first Camberwell team invited to compete at a national championship, making this a very big deal for players, coaches, families and the entire Dragons program.

It’s been a big year already for coach Conor Mathews’ team, which put together a 7-2 record through the first half of the Victorian Championship (VC) season and finished ninth at last month’s National Junior Classic in Melbourne. Now, they’ve got their sights set on the last couple of months of the VC season and the national championships, and they’d love your support along the way.
