HISTORY
The Beavers Basketball Club was formed in 1958 with just an under 18 boys team. Since then, the Beavers have continued to grow throughout the years. At present, there are more than 60 teams playing in Beaver uniforms – from under 10 teams through to A grade mens and women’s teams. Beavers is the only club that provides a progressive structure that allows a player to commence in junior grades and graduate to the top of the senior competition.
COMMITTEE
Beavers Basketball Club meet on a regular basis and conducts its Annual General Meeting in November of each year, the clubs activities are coordinated totally by the voluntary efforts of its committee, coaches, parents and players.
The club welcomes new parents to join our committee and assist in the running of club affairs. Club representatives are also active on various Bendigo Basketball Association Committees and assist in conducting the local domestic competition and coordinating all other activities concerning basketball in Bendigo.
FINANCE

TRAINING
Training is the clubs largest expense, hiring venues to train our teams accounts for a large proportion of our yearly budget. Our training venues charge between $22 and $33 per hour, the annual registration fee and additional $1 that all juniors pay on game night goes towards paying these expenses.
Training times are very limited and there is often a need to have more than one team at a time at a training session, usually players of the same age divisions will train together. Most team training is conducted on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at various venues, commencing at 4.00 or 4.30pm with the younger teams.
OBJECTIVES
The Beavers Basketball Club sole objective is to foster junior basketball. Our club philosophy is to teach children the game of basketball, enjoy the training and to play the game in the right spirit.
Beavers, over many years, have been able to provide players the opportunity to develop their skills and achieve their goals, with many players going on to represent Bendigo, Victorian Representative teams and also achieve selection in Australian teams. If players are committed, Beavers Basketball Club will provide the opportunities and encouragement.
