Providing more Victorians with the opportunity to play more basketball more often, Spalding’s partnership with Basketball Victoria will facilitate the delivery of basketballs across the state; broadening the games’ reach into grassroots areas, clubs and schools.

Versalux

Basketball is a key sport across the country (as well as across the globe) and is a sport that Versalux has been heavily involved in across our 44-year history. Versalux have long been the industry standard when it comes to lighting for indoor sports stadiums around Victoria (and around Australia), in many of which basketball has been the main sport played. Our uniquely engineered luminaires ensure that all lighting principals are considered, such as controlled light output, uniformly lighting the complete space and playing surface, minimising overall glare and providing luminaires with certified impact-testing to exceed global standards.

While the lighting technology has evolved over our journey of lighting indoor sports stadiums, our dedication to providing the best lighting system for the intended application has always been our number-one priority. Unfortunately, this is not a sentiment that is shared across other lighting companies across Australia, which has led to many basketball courts being poorly lit, which inevitably impacts the player’s performance and spectator’s enjoyment of the game.

Asahi Lifestyle Beverages

Asahi Lifestyle Beverages is Basketball Victoria’s official beverage supplier, providing quality products to a number of our Basketball stadiums. ALB also provides product support to a number of BV’s participants in grassroots programs through to representative leagues and State Teams.

Teampay

 

Just like you, everybody at Teampay plays sport in a local organisation for fun, fitness and competition. For years, we showed up before the game and struggled through the issue of payment. Two players would bring a $50 note, another would ask if he could get me back next week, and another wanted to pay in small coins!

There had to be a better way to pay!

It was at this point Teampay was born.

Over the next few years we developed, tested and refined a simplified method for game day payments that allowed quick and seamless transactions of game fees to the organisation.
