Hello Gator’s Family,

The wait is over! The Altona Gators senior basketball program is locked and loaded for Big V season 2022. Our senior teams have been training hard and ready to prepare for what is sure to be an exciting season.  The new look Youth League One Men led by head coach Sedale Threatt Jr. will be one of the best teams in the competition, not to mention the most exciting! The Youth Championship Women led by Randy Shanklin will look to build on their consecutive seasons of reaching the finals in the top youth league competition. The Division Two Women are led by head coach Cameron Wilkosz. The ladies had an amazing return to Big V by dominating the top of the ladder position for several weeks before the lockdown ended the season. The Division Two Men also have a new look with playing coach Jordan Lino taking the reins. This veteran group of players will look to build on their success from the 2021 campaign where they finished 2nd on the ladder when the season was ended due to COVID–19. Gator’s supporters have a lot of fun and excitement to look forward to this season as all of our teams bring an exciting brand of basketball to grace “The Swamp”.

This weekend, the Youth Championship Women will open up the new season on our new show court in a hotly contested matchup against the Waverley Falcons on Saturday March 19th at 7:30pm. That’s just the beginning! Sunday March 20th “The Swamp” will be hosting a blockbuster triple-header! The curtain raiser at noon will be our Youth Championship Women against the mighty Melbourne Tigers. 2pm will see the Division Two Women play their newfound rivals Coburg in what will be an exciting matchup of two of 2021’s hottest teams. Our Division Two Men round out the day against the young and athletic Melton Thoroughbreds at 4pm. This weekend is just the beginning of what will be an outstanding season for all of our senior teams. We look forward to having your support. Remember, entry is fee for Gator’s Players.

Our Senior Program is looking for sponsorship. Your support would allow you to be an integral part of our Gator’s Family while providing an excellent opportunity to promote your business to the wider community. Our stadium attracts players and spectators from throughout Victoria in addition to many members of the Hobson Bay, Wyndham, and Maribyrnong Municipality Communities. Accordingly, providing a high level of exposure for your business. In addition, we have a strong social media and digital presence that can provide further coverage for your business. We understand that organisations require value for any sponsorship money, therefore our partnerships can be tailored to suit your needs. Given our strong commitment to promoting family values, integrity, and teamwork, we will ensure we promote your brand throughout the club and wider community at every opportunity. Further information with respect to sponsorship can be found here, if you wish to discuss, please contact [email protected] and we will contact you.

Good luck to our junior and senior teams for this weekend.
