BBA Basics

If you’re new to Bendigo Domestic Basketball, I’m sure you have questions. The inner workings and intricacies of the domestic basketball scene can, at times, seem confusing.

To help players, coaches and spectators understand the game, the Bendigo Basketball Association have developed a document outlining Basic BBA By-law Rules.

This document covers a variety of commonly questioned rules and regulations and is a great starting point for any new comers or a welcomed refresher for those who have been around a while. Click here to head over to the Bendigo Basketball website and check it out!
