#PantherPride #WelcomeToTheJungle #WallanBasketball #WallanPanthers #VJBL2025

We’re excited to share a major change for Wallan Junior Panthers!

Starting in the 2025/2026 season, we will introduce separate and dedicated Metro and Country programs. This is a move designed to provide more tailored opportunities, support player growth, and create clearer development pathways for every junior player at our club.

What does this mean?
We’ll be establishing Country Squad teams who will participate in country tournaments later in 2025 through to the Junior Country Championships (JCC) in March/April 2026.

These teams will operate in parallel to our Metro teams (VJBL), giving families the flexibility to try out for a pathway that suits their child best — whether that’s Metro, Country, or both.

This change will provide more players with the chance to represent Wallan at either Metro and/or Country level while opening up development and tournament opportunities across the entire year.

This change will also better support multi-sport players with flexible, seasonal options.

When will tryouts be held?
Tryouts for our Country Squad teams will be held on 14th - 16th of July. You can register for tryouts via our website linked in our bio.

Want to learn more?
We know families will have questions, and we want to make sure you have all the information you need. You're invited to attend our upcoming information session:
In-Person Info Session
RB Robson Stadium - Court 1
Thursday, 26 June at 5.30pm
To register for the information session, please head to the website in our bio

For those who can not attend the information session, it will be recorded and uploaded to our website.

You can also visit our dedicated webpage with key timelines, FAQs, program details, and the link to register your interest:

What a weekend! The Jungle was absolutely vibing with a massive crowd turning out in pink to support an amazing cause and cheer on our Panthers 🐾

🏀 YL2 Men stole the show with a one-point thriller against Craigieburn (84–83)
🏀 D2 Women were sensational on Sunday, snapping the Cougars’ 10-game win streak with a gritty 69–63 win!
Coach Jarrod said it best: "We showed that when we all lock in and put all our effort into our defence, we can compete and beat anyone in the league." 💪

There were some tough results too, but every team brought the energy and Panther pride.

Thanks to everyone who packed the stands and turned The Jungle pink – we felt the love! 💕

🐾 VJBL Round 10 Wrap-Up – Progress on Display! 🐾

What a difference nine rounds can make! 💪 Comparing back to Round 1, our Panthers showed huge growth across the board this week in Round 10:

✅ U12.1B turned a 28–46 loss into a 46–43 win over Whittlesea—amazing turnaround!
✅ U14.1B went from a heartbreaking 1-point loss to Dandenong to a strong 11-point win.
✅ U14G flipped a 14-point loss to Shepparton into a 6-point victory!
✅ U16.1B improved dramatically on their early season form—bouncing back from a 46-point loss to claim a 9-point win over Westgate.
✅ U16.2B showed huge growth, turning a 22-point loss to Melton into a dominant 69–48 win.
✅ U16G continued their winning ways, backing up their Round 1 win over Collingwood with another strong showing.
✅ U18.1B battled hard and fell just short this week—only 1 point off turning the tables on Sandringham after a 10-point loss in Round 1.

And a massive shoutout to our U20.1 team, who fought hard and walked away with the win—with just 5 players on court the entire game! That’s Panther heart right there. 🐾🔥
