History
The Waverley Basketball Association was formed in 1976 with the building of the Jordanville Community Centre. Waverley began with one court at the current location and grew over a number of years with additional competitions played at Highvale Secondary College, Mazenod College, Mount Waverley Secondary College, and Wheelers Hill Secondary College.
The Waverley Falcons first tasted success in 1994 with the women's team winning the Country Victorian Invitation Basketball League (CVIBL) championship. The club later joined the Big V in 2000 for the league's inaugural season as part of the Australian Basketball Association (ABA). The men's team were crowned back-to-back Big V champions in 2010 and 2011 with the help of guards Simon Blennerhassett and Daniel Dillon. The Falcons also won State Youth Championships in 2011 with the women and in 2014 with the men.
