50th Anniversary
50 Years of Basketball. One Community
In 2026, Diamond Valley Basketball Association (DVBA), proudly celebrates 50 years of basketball, community and connection.
Since our beginnings, DVBA has been built by clubs, volunteers, players, coaches and families who share a love for the game and a commitment to community. This milestone year is about honouring that legacy, telling the stories that shaped us, and ensuring we leave the association stronger for the next generation.
Across 2026, we will celebrate with major events, storytelling initiatives, special merchandise and legacy projects, all designed to recognise the people and clubs that made Diamond Valley Basketball Association what it is today.
