Partnership Opportunities for Season 2026
As we prepare for another exciting representative basketball season for both our junior and senior teams, we would love to partner with your business.
Many of our families are connected to local businesses, whether owned, managed, or employed and we would love to partner with you to support our athletes and continue to enhance our program while also providing an important platform to promote your business for a mutually beneficial partnership.
Our club has been proudly developing young athletes since 1988. Our club focuses not only on building strong basketball skills, but also on nurturing teamwork, leadership, and personal growth. We also contribute each year to community initiatives and ensure greater participation opportunities for players from diverse backgrounds.
Over the years, our program has produced players who have gone on to represent Victoria, compete in the American College system, and even play for national teams such as the Australian Gems and the Australian Opals Olympic team.
Our home base the Altona Sports Centre, affectionately known as the Swamp welcomes visitors from all over the country each year providing businesses with a unique and highly visible platform to reach families, players, and visitors from across Victoria. Further, we have a strong social media following and our players travel throughout the state providing further valuable exposure for your business.
As a volunteer-driven club, we work hard to ensure that all athletes, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to participate and grow through basketball. However, providing access to coaching, facilities, equipment, and development pathways is costly, in fact the facilities we use are some of the most expensive in the state. This is where sponsorship makes a meaningful difference ensuring we can prevent barriers to entry for all in our community and also to continue to enhance our opportunities for our players and coaches.
We invite any families who may be interested, or who may know of a business open to supporting the Gatorβs family, to consider becoming a sponsor for the upcoming season. Our Sponsorship packages can be accessed here. We can tailor packages to your businessβs needs.

A player sponsorship reduces the financial burden for our players, many who are juggling competing commitments to play the game they love.
If you or someone you know would like more information, we would be happy to provide a sponsorship proposal and discuss the options available. Please reach out to Randy Shanklin (randy.shanklin@gators.net.au).
We look forward to partnering with you!
