Chandler Park Jets BC

Established in 1983, Chandler Park Junior Basketball Club (Jets) is one of the 17 clubs that makes up the Knox Basketball Association, We take pride in being a family-oriented club.Elizabeth and Barry Harvey started the club in conjunction withNeville Groves and Brent Ferguson - all of whom coached basketball teams. Commencing with 4 boys teams, the 'Jets' originally began as a way for boys playing with the Chandler Park Football Club to keep fit through the summer off-season. So, where is Chandler Park? Well you can see here that Chandler Park is quite close to the Knox Stadium. Though we have recently added a splash of red, our uniform still features the blue and white, reflecting the heritage of the club. As Boronia was in the North Melbourne recruiting zone, the colours of the Chandler Park Football Club were derived from North Melbourne (the Kangaroos).Two years after the club started, a girls team was added when the boys sisters grew tired of watching them have all the fun. While Chandler Park Football Club amalgamated with Boronia Football Club a few years later, the Basketball club has continued to prosper.At first, we trained teams on the outside courts at Boronia Primary School but quickly moved to the Boronia Youth hall on Dorset Rd (near where McDonalds is now). With more teams starting, we outgrew this venue and moved again to the newly built gym hall at Boronia Heights Secondary College. That was in 1988. In 2005, we moved the majority of our training to Boronia Primary school to establish stronger links with primary aged children. In 2009 we moved from BHSC to Fairhills.We have been moderately successful on the courts over the past 29 years, however the club has always emphasised that enjoyment of the game is more important than winning.During this time the club has come up with some fantastic ideas and innovative plans to ensure the strength of the club continues long in to the future.One of the main areas the club was looking to improve on was the way in which it was currently communicating with its players, members, supporters and sponsors.With a forward thinking and a dynamic board the club was actively pursuing different methods which would enable them to improve on their existing communication channels.After conducting a review of all the options available to them the club is pleased to announce the release of their first ever native mobile phone app for Android.The app will be branded in the colours of the Chandler Park Jets Basketball Club and the content available to users in the app will contain information about the club.No longer will you have to worry about missing out on news or information about the Chandler Park Jets Basketball Club as the app will serve as your number one source of information about the club!The type of information available to you when you download this app are as follows:- Latest News- Results- Images- Videos- Events- Facebook- Merchandise- Committee- Contacts- Teams- Ladders- Fixtures- Team news- Sponsors- Grounds- Memberships- Training and much much moreTo make sure you stay in touch with absolutely everything to do with the club, download the app now!Go Jets!
