History

Kingborough Huon Basketball Association (KHBA)

Kingborough-Huon Basketball Association (KHBA) is a full-service Basketball Association that delivers basketball programs in the Kingborough and Huon municipalities.

In 2016 KHBA took over the operations of the “After School and Senior Rosters” from the Kingborough Sports Centre. With their support and by continuing to work with stakeholders in the region we are growing the competitions and providing pathway development opportunities for our participants.

The domestic competition runs daily with participants as young as 7yrs, all the way through to the ages to 55+ for both men and women. These competitions are a great opportunity to recreate in a safe, positive and fun environment for all.

·     Kingborough-Huon Basketball Association (KHBA) is a new structure and new direction for basketball in the Kingborough-Huon region.

·     The vision is to bring all basketball operations for the region under the one umbrella in order to provide the best basketball product and service.

·     This structure will allow us to plan and implement development programs more effectively.

·     Forming one association will allow us to provide a pathway from Mini-Kings and our juniors right through to state teams, SBL and beyond.
