Check out what parents are saying about the BMBA
Bob Helped my son improve each week
My son's game has improved every week that he has trained with Bob and the BMBA. We have been able to follow that progress due to the structured nature of the training that Bob provides at the BMBA, which includes regular training plans and assessments. We couldn't be happier."
Belinda G
The Comradery in my son's team is amazing!
The on-the-court stuff is great, but what impresses me even me is the way my son's team has bonded together. Their teamwork on the court is amazing and their friendships on and off it is even better to witness. Something parents from opposing teams comment on most weeks.
Caroline G
We received exactly what we hoped for our daughter
"When our daughter started with Bob she had a low skill level and even lower confidence. After eighteen months with Bob and the BMBA we have a different girl on our hands. Her skill level has risen dramatically and now she has the confidence to try things she would never have dreamed of before. We couldn't be happier."
Janine O
In a little over a year, my son's game is unrecognisable
"We have been with the BMBA for a little over a year and our son has gone from an absolute beginner to the strongest player in his team. After being in a previous team where he received little to no coaching, the difference between that and what we have received at the BMBA is simply dramatic."

More than just a sponsorship
Normally, when a business sponsors a sports club, it pays a designated amount in possibly different categories, such as Gold, Silver, and Bronze. For that amount, the business may get a sign on a wall, an oval fence, a badge on a uniform, or an ad in a newsletter. What a business may get in return can vary, but it’s not unfair to say that a business, especially a small one, may not get much back in return for that sponsorship.
So we have come up with a unique approach. While all of the above can still be negotiated, we have decided to ensure that not only all businesses can become sponsors but that we can guarantee a return on any monies provided. We do that by providing a selection of business services that you can choose from that cater to your budget.
So as a business, you can:
- Choose any of the services listed below for your business.
- Choose a combination of the services listed below for your business.
- Opt for a regular sponsorship arrangement.
- Combine a traditional sponsorship with a service purchase below.
- Or we can negotiate with you to make any of this possible for your business.
Most importantly though by securing one of these services, you will be supporting youth becoming involved in a healthy sporting recreation that teaches them the benefits of fitness, teamwork, ambition and hard work. You will be helping us mentor our youth as they progress out of the COVID-19 years which had such a negative impact on them.
The business community don’t need to be reminded of this as the challenges they faced and for many are still facing, were considerable. Let’s work together so we can support our youth and serve your business helping both to recover from difficult times.

Meet BMBA founder and owner Bob Mann
Bob has been involved in basketball since 1990 and in the IT industry since 1988. Through that time, Bob has built two Associations from the ground up, both of which grew to be the equivalent of a medium-sized company. The two Associations grew to such a size that they both employed numerous staff while serving thousands of families. Through that time Bob devised strategies through his IT strategies to build websites, conduct email campaigns and build social media platforms. In 2016 Bob founded his basketball academy where he could focus his efforts on training and developing juniors and building competitions. He also branched out to provide services to other businesses in 2019 just before COVID-19 hit our shores he started the Community Forum Online newspaper.
Throughout the COVID-19 period, Bob chose to put this part of his business into hibernation while he rebuilt his basketball academy again once COVID restrictions began to lift. Now that he has secured court access at the magnificent Stonnington Sports Centre Bob is now in a position to also launch the Community Forum Online Newspaper with its various business services to complement his Junior Basketball Academy.
Bob designed this unique approach to acquiring business support for his sports academy as an alternative to the normal sponsorship arrangements which in many instances don’t see a return to business. So as a business owner and sports administrator, he has brought the best of both worlds together so that both organisations will benefit. You may well meet with Bob when he visits your business, or hear from him through our business newsletter.
