The Churchill Amateur Basketball Association is a sports club located in Latrobe City, Australia. It is currently run by Basketball Victoria Country and organises senior domestic basketball competitions for players of all ages and abilities at Latrobe Leisure Churchill.
The club hosts both men's and women's competitions, which take place on Tuesday nights. The number of divisions in these competitions varies depending on the demand from participants, with typically 2 to 4 divisions being formed.
In addition to the domestic competitions, the Churchill Amateur Basketball Association is also home to the Churchill Blue Devils. The Blue Devils compete in the Country Basketball League Gippsland Conference and have had a successful history. In their first year back in the competition in 2011/2012, the Blue Devils won both the Men's and Women's premiership flags. They further showcased their skills by clinching the CBL championship titles in both categories during the 2013/14 season.
