Coburg Basketball Stadium

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

Wish I could give half a star.Without a doubt the most poorly umpired facility in all of Melbourne.Lose the ego.Read the rules.You get paid, so do a better job.Would fire everyone and start again.Our team have left forever and are now happy back out east!

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 the teams around every 45 minutes. No-one gives a toss about the rules or the scoring, and the officials love to have a bit of a chat with their mates no matter whether or not a game is happening. If you happen to be one of their mates you should have a great time. Would love for the VBRA to pop by on and see if this lot can be used as an example of how to scare casual players away from the game. I'll stick to my current comp, even if it is an hour further to travel.

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

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

Great place and very clean

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 reffinganyone 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.

Lovely place love you guys

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.
