Logan Thunder is a Queensland Basketball League (QBL) club based in Logan, Queensland. The club fields a team in both the Men's QBL and Women's QBL. The club is a division of Logan Basketball Inc., the major administrative basketball organisation in the region. The Thunder play their home games at Cornubia Park Sports Centre.

Club history

Logan Basketball Inc. was established in July 1998,[1] and by the mid-2000s, senior representative teams were competing in the Southern Cross Cup.[2] In 2006, the Thunder entered the Queensland Australian Basketball League (QABL), fielding both a men's and women's team. However, the club withdrew from the league following the 2008 season.[3]

In September 2014, plans were made to bring the club back to life.[4] Following 2008, Logan Basketball Inc. were unable to fund a state-league program due to all resources being used by the Logan Thunder WNBL team. In the wake of the collapse of the WNBL team, a QBL club was able to resurface for the 2015 season.[3]
