Basketball Illawarra farewells Ben Bagoly as he steps away from his role as Head of Basketball. During his time with Basketball Illawarra, Ben has played a pivotal role in shaping the direction, culture, and standards of our junior and senior representative programs. His leadership extended far beyond winning and losing, Ben brought with him a wealth of knowledge and care to take our Illawarra athletes, members, and staff to the next level. Executive General Manager Nathan Loveday expressed the thoughts of many who have worked with Ben; “On behalf of the Illawarra Basketball Association, I would like to sincerely thank Ben Bagoly for his dedication and service to the Association over a number of years. Ben’s contribution has played a significant role in shaping the organisation we are today, and his positive impact will be felt for many years to come. Ben will be a significant loss to the Association.” Ben's impact can be felt and seen across the entirety of Basketball Illawarra. Stepping into numerous roles over his tenure, Ben consistently balanced leadership across coaching, rep program oversight, and strategic development, while also playing a key role in strengthening pathways and opportunities throughout the association. His work supported the growth of participation, the development of representative programs, and the building of competitive senior teams, with a strong commitment to professionalism and integrity. Ben leaves behind a meaningful legacy at the Illawarra Basketball Association, and the impact of his work will continue to be felt long after his departure.

Rep 2026 Trials – Registrations Now Open 18B SJL 1 SPONSOR Junior Representative Information The Illawarra Basketball Association (IBA) Representative Program provides athletes the chance to compete beyond local competition and develop through a clear pathway to State, National, and elite levels of basketball. 2026 IBA Representative Handbook The Handbook is the foundation of the program. It sets out the policies, expectations, and standards that guide every athlete, coach, and family in the IBA Representative Program. Before trialling, all players and parents (if under 18) must confirm they have read and understood the Handbook. This ensures: Everyone knows the rules, standards, and commitments. There is transparency around trials, team selection, and conduct. Families understand the support structures available (e.g. Nest Egg, exemptions). The Illawarra Blueprint In addition to the Handbook, the program is guided by the Illawarra Blueprint – Style of Play (SOP). This document is for coaches, but the values in it are central to the culture we want all players and families to understand: Selfless – the team comes first. Hard Work – effort every time, on and off the court. Commitment – regular attendance, dedication to improvement. Humility – respect in both victory and defeat. These values underpin how we coach, how we play, and how we represent Illawarra. 2026 Junior Rep Trials Registrations for the 2026 Junior Rep Trials are now open.
