WHO WE ARE

ABOUT CADBA

Growing participation, developing players and building a connected basketball community in Chelsea and surrounds.

Our vision

Participation. Development. Synergy.

That's what we're building at CADBA, and we get there through three core values.

Belief

Acceptance, trust and buying into the systems, structures and values that take us beyond our greatest goals.

Discipline

Working hard and conducting ourselves to the rules and standards we set.

Ownership

Being accountable and making good decisions in how we handle challenges and how we're seen.

Our history

From two courts to a basketball hub

CADBA was formed in the late 1970s following the construction of the two-court basketball stadium in Bonbeach, affectionately known as "The Nest".

From those humble beginnings, the association has grown into one of the largest and most vibrant basketball hubs in the region, with training and games running seven days a week.
