Beginning in the 2026/27 Summer Season, TABA will introduce a Player Points System for the junior domestic competition. This change aims to:
Each player will be allocated a point value based on their representative experience. Each team will have a maximum number of points they can use when forming a team.
This new structure is not a major shift from current rules. It removes some elements, simplifies others, and creates a clearer pathway for future development and improvement.
This change is an important step in improving our domestic competition and ensuring it aligns with the growth of our junior representative program.
All enquiries can be emailed to the Match Committee at: matchcomm@traralgonbasketball.net.au

If you have any concerns, questions or would like further information regarding child safety, we encourage you to reach out.
Adult Referees Needed
Traralgon Amateur Basketball Association are seeking expressions of interest from adults who are willing to re-engage in as a referee or learn how to referee basketball.
We are currently experiencing a referee shortage, and this is placing pressure on our young officials and on the competition as a whole. With an additional 10–15 adult referees, we would greatly reduce the number of games that are left with only one referee.
We appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication of our young referees, but we also need adults who bring confidence and life experience to help manage situations that may arise on court.
You don’t have to commit to a full night — even doing one game before or after your child’s game is a massive help. And don’t worry if you haven’t refereed before, we will teach you what you need to know, and you will be supported every step of the way.
Here’s what you can expect:
Lots of parents and former players have stepped in over the years — some because their kids play, some because they enjoy being around basketball, and others simply because they like giving back.
If you’re interested (even just a little!), please reach out, we would love to chat with you.
