Highlands Hornets Junior Basketball Club

Craigieburn Sports Stadium Parking Update*
As you may have noticed the carpark at the stadium has been fenced off in preparation for the demolition of the existing building. This building is being demolished to make way for the 3-court extension of "The Nest" which we are all very excited about!
The fencing has split the carpark and therefore access between the basketball entrance and the Hume entrance is no longer possible by car.
Directional signage has been arranged, however, this may take some time to be completed.

*For those requiring access to courts 1 – 3*
Please enter via the CHILDCARE ROAD ENTRY, and utilize the main carpark at the front of the Hume entrance, as well as the additional parking spaces along the childcare road.
Please note that entry into this road is a left turn only.

*For those requiring access to courts 4 and 5*
The existing "entry driveway" will now be used for both entry and exit. New directional signage will be in place soon, however, the access is now very narrow so please use caution when entering and exiting!
As parking in this area is now very limited, it has been advised that the best option may be to use the main Hume entrance and make use of the parking mentioned above.

Please contact us if interested

Coaches wanted for the upcoming Junior Domestic season starting 30th April 22.
Applications ASAP

FYI: updates

Vaccination requirements have been updated to comply with the latest Open Premises and Mandatory Vaccination directions requiring individuals aged over 12-years-and-2-months who attend any Basketball Victoria operated leagues (e.g. VJBL), events and activities to be fully-vaccinated by 26 November.

An audit of the 79 venues used for VJBL showed 167 courts of a possible 252 courts (66%) had vaccination mandates from the venue operators, meaning that having a consistent approach to VJBL operations is important.

We understand this is a challenging time for families, administrators and volunteers across basketball. Please support each other as we safely navigate this return together.
