Life Members
Basketball Victoria has been fortunate to have exceptional administrators, coaches, managers and players in our midst across our 90-year history.
Each year, Basketball Victoria acknowledges the achievements and tireless work of these incredible individuals by bestowing Life Membership.
The Technical Officials Commission (formerly VBRA) also bestows Life Membership to individuals who have been exemplary officials and referees over their lives, as well as Big V, Victoria’s senior representative basketball competition.
