Melbourne United is excited to announce that the club has officially partnered with the Wyndham Basketball Association.

Encompassing one of the largest growth corridors west of Melbourne, the partnership aims to continue growing the sport’s already rapid development in the region.

President of Wyndham Basketball, Nicole Casaccio, touched on their excitement to be partnering with United moving forward.

“This opportunity is on the front doorstep of Wyndham community people and surrounding areas,” Casaccio said.

“We’re talking about young athletes in Hoppers Crossing, Point Cook, Truganina, all throughout that growth corridor. We know we’re the second largest growth corridor behind the city of Casey, and the area is still growing.

“Having our players be able to look at our program and say ‘I’m learning the same stuff or very similar stuff to what NBL players are learning,’ it’s going to make them better. It’s going to make them want to be part of the program.”

Through the partnership, Wyndham Basketball will become part of the Melbourne United Basketball Academy (MUBA) and the United for Her program, both of which focus on helping young athletes get the best out of the sport.

MUBA Head Coach Nathan Crosswell said he can’t wait to see what Wyndham’s athletes are able to produce within the academy program.

“Having already seen major development from our current crop of academy athletes, bringing a new collection of talented basketball players into the fold is really exciting,” Crosswell said.

“Our program is going to give access to new development opportunities and really enhance the level in which they can improve their skills and play like a Melbourne United player.

“They’ll be learning our style from a program designed by Melbourne United’s coaches.”

Wyndham Basketball General Manager Jason Kelly said working with United will go a long way in establishing a pathway for young athletes to reach their potential.

“It’s very exciting to be the first and currently the only association this side of the Westgate Bridge to form a relationship with Melbourne United,” Kelly said.

“We see having the connection from grassroots to the absolute elite of Australian basketball as a great opportunity for exposure for Wyndham basketball as an entity, but also for our players and coaches to see that elite pathway and where basketball can take them.

“It’s going to help the players be able to understand not just learning the skill sets and the fundamentals that involve being a better basketball player and to improve, but they’ll be able to see the pathway.

“It’s the old saying, if you can’t see, you can’t be it. Being involved in this will give them exposure to what Melbourne United have to offer in terms of that player skill and fundamental development, but also see what that pathway looks like, which they may not get to see normally.”
