Activity Details
The Ivanhoe Knights Basketball Club is a community-based junior basketball club based in Melbourne's Northeast, part of the Eastern Districts Junior Basketball Association (EDJBA), the largest junior competition in Australia. We welcome players from all surrounding suburbs and beyond.
Competition & Play: Players compete in EDJBA seasons aligned with school terms, with the Summer season running from October to April. Games are played at multiple home venues including La Trobe Sports Stadium, Ivanhoe East Primary School, Narrandjeri Stadium, Darebin Community Sports Stadium, and Alphington Grammar School, with away games against other EDJBA teams.
Development Programs: The club runs a comprehensive suite of development programs ranging from beginner to elite level, catering to players from kindergarten age through to teenagers. These programs complement participation in the EDJBA competition.
Club Philosophy: Our club is built on fun and participation rather than 'winning at all costs'. We pride ourselves on teaching players and coaches the fundamentals of basketball within a supportive, member-focused community environment run by volunteers.

The Resolution Trap: Why ‘All-or-Nothing’ is the Enemy of Consistency
The "New Year, New Me" energy is a powerful motivator, but it often comes with a hidden trap: the all-or-nothing mindset.
