We encourage our players to participate in tournaments such as Coburg Basketball Association's 3 x 3 Challenge and associations' specialist tournaments to build their game time experience.

Teams train once a week. Training sessions start between 4.00 and 5.30, last for an hour, and occur Monday to Friday depending on the team.

We run additional, optional programs including:

• Girls in sport -  combined sessions for girls across the club with guest trainers including WNBL players and Coburg Giants coaches

• Scrimmages - regular intra-club games in the evenings

• Adult basketball and fitness - morning session

​​

We improve the training delivered to players by developing our coaches' skills through Basketball Victoria courses, training resources and a coach-the-coach program.

​​

We encourage our players to participate in holiday academies, such as those run by Deakin Boomers and Melbourne United, to access high level training opportunities.

• In Winter 2025, Brunswick Magic's registration fee is $310.
