Camberwell Dragons

Interest in Camberwell Dragons continues to grow every year, and more than 1100 athletes from all over metropolitan Melbourne and country Victoria participated in our October 2023 tryouts.

Representative basketball is played on Friday nights across the state. Our program provides dedicated basketball players with the opportunity to develop their skills and, with consistent effort, progress along the player pathway.

Our teams commit to practice twice each week, typically one midweek and one Sunday morning session. Players are expected to engage in additional fitness and skill development work in their own time.

Wearing the maroon and gold is not something that comes easily. Players must demonstrate the skill and potential to play at junior representative level and embrace the values of our Association and its culture.

For more on the Junior Dragons program, please refer to our 2023-24 VJBL Season Player and Parent Handbook HERE.

Tryouts for Dragons teams take place in October, with VJBL competition running from mid-November to the following September. To support athletes in making the transition from domestic to representative basketball, we offer several programs to help build the skills and confidence of our youngest players. These include our Pre-Dragons Academy, Dragons Development Squad and Dragons Development programs.
