The 2024 Basketball Victoria Awards were celebrated with a fresh twist this year, as the event moved online to coincide with the annual State Conference. This decision marks a temporary change, with an exciting return to in-person festivities in November 2025. The revised approach aimed to simplify the awards process while still recognising exceptional contributions to our sport.
The virtual celebration shone a spotlight on the incredible achievements, triumphs, and dedication of athletes, coaches, officials, administrators, and volunteers who continue to drive the growth and success of basketball in Victoria forward.
It was an evening filled with pride and gratitude, as the basketball community came together to honour those who make a difference in Victorian basketball every day.
Congratulations to all of the 2024 winners who we again celebrate and highlight with the full list of award winners listed below.
