Proudly sponsored by long-time partners Jellis Craig, our Junior Domestic Competition is a participation-focused program open to players aged 6–21. Wildcats teams compete in the Eastern Districts Junior Basketball Association (EDJBA), one of Australia’s largest junior basketball competitions, with grades available to suit all skill levels. Games are played on Saturdays during school terms across both Summer and Winter seasons.

If two players on a team have the same number (highlighted in yellow on the team lists), our policy is that the player who has played for Eltham Wildcats Basketball Club the longer retains their number.
The player changing numbers can bring their singlet to the Admin Office at Montmorency Secondary College (Basketball Stadium – Upstairs, Level 1). They will be issued a swap singlet in the same size with a different number. At the end of the season, the ‘swap top’ can be returned and the player’s original singlet will be returned. Alternatively, players may choose to purchase a new singlet directly through the Uniform Shop.
In games against other clubs where there is a colour clash, the team listed first on the fixture should change their singlet. If they are unable to do so, we will.
In games involving two Eltham teams, the team listed first on the fixture must change singlets.
