Sandringham Sabres is a South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) club based in Melbourne, Victoria. The club fields a team in both the Men's SEABL and Women's SEABL. The club is a division of Sandringham Basketball Association (SBA), the major administrative basketball organisation in the region.

Club history

The original Southern Basketball Association was founded in 1974 and was located in Waltham Street, Sandringham. The association later moved to Tulip Street, Cheltenham.[1]

In 2000, the SBA entered a team into both the Big V State Championship Men's division (SCM) and Women's division (SCW).[2] Between 2001 and 2008, the Sandringham men made a grand final appearance every year, winning championships in 2002 and 2005. The women on the other hand made grand final appearances in 2003, 2005 and 2006, winning their first championship in 2006 with a 64–58 win over Dandenong.[3]

In 2009, both teams were elevated from the Big V into the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL).[4][5]
