About
Chelsea and Districts Basketball Association was formed in the late 70s with the completion of construction on the two court Basketball Stadium, Cannes Ave, Bonbeach. The club has since grown to over 2,000 registered members with organised training and games on court seven days per week. Chelsea Basketball stadium is used for practise and games for more than 180 domestic teams and over 25 elite representative teams.
The stadium is used by the Basketball Association seven days a week. Other groups such as local schools, Netball Association, Roller derby, soccer, and Badminton Association use the stadium during hours not already occupied by basketball teams. In an average week approximately 4,000 people pass through the stadium doors. The stadium has men's and women's change rooms facilities, a conference room with audiovisual equipment and a popular canteen.
In late 2010, the new 3 court stadium was completed and that has moved Chelsea Basketball to being a 5 court association. Growth was expected to sharply increase over the next 12 months as a result of the new stadium, and this has since been the case with both stadiums used for domestic and representative basketball as well as local school courts also being used for games and training.
