Welcome to GBA Online, the online home of the Glebe
Basketball Association.You can contact us directly on 0415 807 575 or 9660 5453.
Glebe Basketball development commenced as an 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.
The Glebe Basketball Association is unique in
that it is run entirely by volunteers from the surrounding community
-"by the community for the community". |
