Welcome to GBA Online, the online home of the Glebe Basketball Association

The Glebe Basketball Association is unique in that it is run entirely by volunteers from the surrounding community -"by the community for the community".

Glebe Basketball development commenced as a welfare initiative of Glebe High School in 1990, with basketball programs originally involving only the high school, and through the Primary Links Program, Inner West primary school children.

In 1997 the program was extended to the whole Inner West community becoming Glebe Basketball Association, an independent association affiliated with Basketball NSW and Basketball Australia, continuing throughout the years to provide basketball facilities, competitions, and clinics to the youth of our Inner-Western suburbs.

GBA Sponsors

GBA appreciates the generous support and sponsorship of the following:

For a community organisation such as Glebe Basketball to thrive, the ongoing support and contributions of our local business community and councils have been essential.

We are very fortunate to have a number of organisations who are sensitive to youth and community needs.
