Natio returns as Women’s VBL Program Partner for 2027
Collingwood Basketball Association is pleased to announce that Natio will return as a major partner of the Collingwood All Stars Women’s VBL Program for the 2027 season.
Natio has supported CBA since 2017, making the renewed partnership another chapter in a longstanding relationship between the two organisations.
CBA General Manager Shaun McEachin said the decision by Natio to continue its support was a strong endorsement of the direction of the Association and its women’s program.
“Having a partner like Natio choose to continue its support is significant for CBA. We want to build partnerships that last and that contribute genuine value to our basketball community.”
The renewed partnership comes as CBA continues its work to strengthen the All Stars program and create a high quality environment for women and girls to play, develop and compete.
A Natio spokesperson said the company was pleased to continue the relationship.
“Natio has proudly supported CBA since 2017, and we’ve genuinely valued the strong relationship built over that time. We look forward to continuing this partnership, connecting with the wider CBA community, and supporting the growth of the Women’s VBL program.”
McEachin said retaining long term partners was also an important measure of CBA’s work to build a stronger and more sustainable basketball association.
“We have been putting a lot of work into strengthening what we offer our players, families, partners and broader community. When an organisation that knows CBA well chooses to continue that journey with us, that means something.”
The partnership will also provide opportunities for Natio to connect with the broader CBA community throughout the season, building on a relationship that now spans a decade.
For CBA, the announcement adds further momentum as preparations continue for the 2027 VBL season.
“There is a lot of work happening behind the scenes to build our VBL program for 2027,” McEachin said.
“We want our women’s program to be something our players aspire to be part of and our whole community gets behind. Having Natio with us again is another positive step towards that.”
Further announcements about the Collingwood All Stars and the 2027 VBL season will follow in the coming months.
