Collingwood Basketball Association recently brought together players, coaches, families and supporters for our VJBL Presentation Night, celebrating the achievements of our Junior Representative program across the 2025/26 season.
The evening recognised the commitment, development and contribution of our athletes, while providing an opportunity for the All Stars community to come together and reflect on another season of representative basketball.
MVP and Coaches Awards were presented across our girls and boys teams. These awards recognise players who made a significant contribution to their team throughout the season, through their performance, development, commitment and contribution to the team environment.
CBA also recognised Joe Barker and Narelle Donald as our 2026 Coaches of the Year, acknowledging their contribution to our players, teams and broader representative program.
While individual awards were an important part of the evening, Presentation Night was also an opportunity to recognise the collective effort behind every team. CBA thanks our coaches, team managers, volunteers and families for the time, energy and support they provide throughout the season.
Congratulations to all our 2026 Junior Representative Award recipients.
