I would not suggest playing basketball here in the casual leagues for a number of reasons. 1) the character of teams is low, they will take any opportunity to cheap shot you, arm pulling, back shoving, elbows, anything they can get away with. Your opponents do not want to play a fair but competitive form of basketball 2) Referees will not call illegal and dangerous physical contact, they can not control the physicality of the game which has also led to a few heated physical altercations over the past weeks, I am genuinely afraid of being injured in these games 3) Referees are vindictive and the power goes to their head, this prevents them from calling fair games and takes all the fun out of the sport 4) Referees will literally make up rules on the fly leading to mass confusion on both teams. If you want to fall out of love with the beautiful game that is basketball come to Coburg basketball stadium, they butcher the game daily.

it looks like Sue doesn't ref any more, so I've changed from 1 star to 4 stars. I'll keep my rant here just in Sue makes a grand return to reffing anyone who has played in the coburg casual league has had the misfortune of being reffed by Sue. Her inability to properly ref a game demoralises everyone playing, and will actually make you want to quit. Her obvious lack of care for the game of basketball and its rules makes a mockery of the whole league. Having spoken to other refs, they say she takes pride in her ability to completely ruin the game for people just looking to have a good time with their friends. I have no idea how she is still employed there, as absolutely everyone, staff included, knows how little she cares for her job, and how absolutely horrendous she is at it.

Can't agreed more with Lucas Watt. Especially points 3) & 4) some ref just don't know what they're doing. We got both 'untrained' ref tonight. No body contact is allowed (no Even touch), no screens allow otherwise got called a block foul (yes a block foul on a offensive team. And a lot new fouls being created. Anyway, welcome everyone to join coburg league to get a new experience in basketball game.

Great Basketball courts, however, the umpires in the casual lower grade Men's games on Wed nights are mostly a joke. In all my years of basketball, even as a kid, I've never seen such lazy, self righteous umpiring, even when both teams can clearly see a call to be wrong. If you are looking to play a casual season with your mates, find somewhere else!

The stadium at fist has few parking spots that aren't even stadium owned there for the park to the right.inside it's basically three basketball courts and the entrance is a right squeeze which is inconvenient for plans plus the canteen is very overpriced.

Obviously love the place, the fact that the facilities are a bit on the 'rustic' side can't take away from the complete lack of interest from the officials. Actual basketball seems to be optional, but they do run a 20 minute timer and swap

Worst place I’ve ever played at, the staff/refs are terrible and rude they won’t listen at all, we’re are paying a premium for subpar courts and the supervisor is unwilling to listen to issues that occur in the court. Don’t play here!

Gets busy which is great to see the kids, adults etc playing basketball, there is a tuck shop for your nibbles drinks etc & if you have little ones there is a play ground outside. Great basketball comp !

The place is a bit of a dump but the people involved are great, they love the basketball and they love the kids playing it! The club has a history of greatness that it working on living upto

The new refs are under trained by the new newly promoted refs to fill the gap , there is less contact in Aus kick compared to the no calls I am seeing

Great social atmosphere, costs a couple dollars to get in but good to know you are supporting a local community.

Great sport providing entertainment on a Saturday night. Food was good. The company was also good. Cheers!

Great place to take your kids to learn basketball at the Newlands basketball academy. Run by Debra Storen.

Any facility that provides an outlet for young people to play sport is a great asset to any community.

Wish I could give half a star. Without a doubt the most poorly umpired facility in all of Melbourne.

Great courts. The staff are awesome and the refs do a good job. The comp here is worth checking out.

Needs some attention but definitely fleas the job. Maybe some netting between the courts would help

Yep, it's winter, but I struggle to understand how the inside could be colder than outside

A good local sports stadium with a canteen and four basketball courts of a good standard.

Greatest stadium in the whole of Victoria, too bad Matt Preston isn't playing there

I spend way too much of my life here regretted every second love it got money

Decent basketball stadium. Gets super cold in winter and super hot in summer.

Good place to play basketball needs a bit of renovation on the roof

It is amazing how it can take 4 basketball courts in one wear house

Would be great if they opened the change rooms on a Monday night

Friendly staff. Courts are hot during summer and dusty at times.

Great bunch of staff .. can be hard to find a parking at times

Pretty average spectator's have to sit in the middle of courts

Worst basketball establishment in the state. Don’t play here

Great sports facility, it also has a track and field area.

Standard basketball stadium, reasonable amount of parking

Not the best courts in the world friendly staff though .

Very popular meet up point with your local seller ;)

My daughter loves playing netball for Redback here

Disgusting venue the toilets were filthy and stunk

Is there a better ball game?! Yes, Sepak Takraw.

Decent courts, little outdated but does the job

Not as many seats as you think there would be.

Great to see kids running all over the place.

A great family and community association.
