The Country Basketball League’s MVPs and award winners were announced over the Grand Final weekend to cap off the 2021/2022 season!

Our best and brightest across the eight conferences received the coveted award for their outstanding play throughout the season. These eight players showed excellent skill on the court and a few managed to lead their team all the way to the big dance.

Congratulations to all our MVP award winners for such a terrific season. The Country Basketball League was proud to play host to all teams across the weekend and the season. We look forward to seeing our associations return next season for another bumper year across Country Victoria!
