The 2025 Foot Locker Under 20 and Ivor Burge National Championships are just around the corner, set to showcase the nation’s top young basketball talent in Victoria later this month.
Ballarat’s Selkirk Stadium will play host for the second year in a row to 28 teams from across Australia as they battle it out for the first national title of the calendar year. The week-long tournament runs from January 28 to February 2.
The Ivor Burge competition provides athletes with an intellectual disability (meeting VIRTUS classification requirements) the opportunity to compete for the national title. Featuring teams from six Australian states — and New Zealand joining the Men’s division — the action tips off on January 29.
