About the Competition
True country representative basketball.
The Country Basketball League is Basketball Victoria's open-age representative competition for regional associations, played across geographic conferences from October into the summer season. It was designed to give regional associations and athletes the chance to compete against one another in the spirit of town versus town competition — a true reflection of country sport.
The CBL features both a Men's and a Women's competition. Squads are made up of players selected through trials held by their local association — for our region, that's the Warragul Basketball Association.
Who can enter? All Basketball Victoria regional affiliated associations are eligible to nominate for the CBL, and nominations may also be accepted from interstate country associations.
Home and away
A true home-and-away format — every team plays an equal number of home and away games.
Summer season
The opening round tips off in early October, with the home-and-away season running through to mid-December.
Conference finals
Each conference decides its champion at the Conference Finals that close out the season.
State finals
The four conference winners meet at the State (All-Conference) Finals weekend to be crowned CBL State Champions.

Player Development
The senior performance pathway.
The CBL is a performance pathway — the same role the VBL plays for our senior program. Played through the VBL off-season, it gives regional players high-level representative competition, and players who excel at CBL level build the skills and experience to progress to the VBL and beyond.
