Inclusive Basketball Programs

At Diamond Valley Basketball Association, we believe basketball should be accessible to everyone. Our inclusion programs are built to remove barriers, create genuine opportunities, and provide welcoming spaces where people of all abilities, backgrounds, and experiences feel valued, supported, and part of our basketball community.
We are committed to creating pathways that allow participants to build skills, confidence, friendships, and a lifelong connection to the game, both on and off the court.

Walking Basketball

Walking Basketball is a FREE community program provided by Diamond Valley Basketball Association, in partnership with Basketball Victoria.  It is a low impact, social and fun way to improve the levels of physical activity for inactive and slightly active Victorians including those recovering from injury. The program provides optimal health benefits to all who participate including those who might prefer a slower more social version of Basketball.

Sessions include a warm-up activity, a game of Walking Basketball, and the opportunity to stay afterwards for coffee and social connection. Participants are welcome to join in as much or as little of the sessions as they like in a relaxed, welcoming environment with no pressure to participate. Tournaments are an available option for participant
