ABOUT US

​​

VBRA Knox, since being established in 1979, has serviced games in the greater Knox area consistently and has been an instrumental part in the development of the sport in the community.

The Branch has continued to work in close cooperation with Knox Basketball to provide a service which is reliable and reflects the values of the sport and the association.

WHO IS INVOLVED

Today, VBRA Knox does not run on its own, and has many hard working individuals who ensure the branch runs in a professional and effective manner. President Daniel Battye, Vice President Sam Viergever, Secretary Brooke Kennedy and Treasurer Mitchell Nevin make up the executive committee and all put in continuous work to ensure the branches activities are functioning well. Additionally, newly appointed Referee Adviser Meaghan Sheehy does ongoing work to develop new referees and run courses for beginner members.

The branch also has a pivotal group of general committee and supervisors who participate on a weekly basis both on and off the court. Go to the meet the team section to understand their roles in the branch.

WHERE DID WE COME FROM 

Since being established, the VBRA Knox branch has had many people who have been instrumental to our growth and success over the years. To view our Honour roll of all past executive and committee members, click here.
