country squad
We’re excited to announce a significant step forward for Wallan Basketball!
From next season, Wallan Panthers will introduce separate and dedicated Metro and Country basketball programs to provide greater opportunities for all players and create clearer development pathways across both representative platforms.
This change will help us:
-
Provide more opportunities for players to represent Wallan at both Metro (VJBL/BigV) and Country (JCC/CBL) competitions.
-
Support flexible participation for multi-sport athletes, with dedicated summer country competition options.
​
Congratulations to our athletes that have been named as part of our Country Squads:
