The Wolfpack Story
Established in the late 1970’s but officially affiliated in 1983, the Wanneroo Basketball Association (WBA) is the most successful and professionally operated basketball association in Western Australia. Based in the heart of the northern growth corridor of Wanneroo and Joondalup, our popular and high-profile club has been in existence for nearly 40 years.

The WBA has proven value in the community, supporting the delivery of a safe, healthy and family-friendly environment. We believe basketball creates Wanneroo and Joondalup community cohesion and connectivity, and increases community pride and social capital. The WBA aims to be a destination for Wanneroo and Joondalup families for health and physical activity, and community engagement.
Our membership reaches from as far south as Duncraig and all the way up to Two Rocks in the north. 35% of our members live north of Quinns Rocks and our northern expansion only continues to grow. This growth has led to the association becoming a large, integral and highly influential organisation within the northern metropolitan community.
In late 2017, the Association built and relocated from the iconic Joondalup Basketball Stadium to the new state-of-the-art Arena Joondalup, a bespoke facility for Basketball, a genuine home for the future.
Through its extended representation in Junior, Senior, and representative competitions, the Association has more than 5,000 members through what are seven large, volunteer governed affiliated domestic clubs; with numbers bolstered by the many thousands of spectators who pass through the stadium every week of the year.
The Wanneroo Basketball Association aspires to be ‘the destination of choice for Basketball’, as a notably progressive, inclusive, accessible, and affordable sporting option for the WA community.
The pinnacle of the Association is the NBL1 Men’s and Women’s teams. The Joondalup Wolves, as they are proudly known, have been in existence since 1983 and have experienced much success in their time, including 10 State Championships between Men’s and Women’s teams.
The club is committed to sustainable success, and prides itself on a high-performance culture, from junior ranks all the way through to the professional levels of the sport and business.
The Wanneroo Basketball Association is a destination for physical health, participation, personal development, and social connectivity. Our objective is to position the club as a true destination for all, a genuine hub of the Perth community and our growth projections remain significant, as does our exploration of new models and stadia to service our demand.
Our commitment to further, sustained growth is evident as we evolve our organisational structure to deliver more quality outcomes into our existing member base, as well as boosting our business and basketball development roles and activities.
Our club possesses an inherent belief and commitment in what we do, the quality of our service and the strength of our programs and products.
