About
Berwick Flames Basketball Club was founded by Kevin Rapley over 15 years ago. Our club plays all games through the Casey Basketball Association, based in South East Melbourne.
We welcome all children from the age of 5 to the age of 17 to come along and have a go at playing the game they love. ANY ability, ANY skill level, we welcome and support everyone!
Our junior domestic teams range from under 8s to under 19s, we have both boys and girls team.
Together our volunteers aim to ensure your child learns respect, team work, resilience and good sportsmanship while being part of a team.
New player enquiries are always welcome. Please contact the club Secretary, Sue Murray at secretary.berwickflames@gmail.com for more information.
