CYMS (Catholic Young Men’s Society)
The CYMS Basketball Association is a longstanding sporting association which has operated basketball competitions in Victoria for over 70 years.
It originated from a church organisation called the Catholic Young Men’s Society (CYMS) in the post WW2 era. It was involved in many sports (as a way to keep young men healthy, active and going to church in those days!) around Melbourne and Australia, including Basketball, AFL, Rugby and Swimming.
The CYMS Basketball Association was founded to concentrate on the sport of Basketball. CYMS had operated a Sunday Night competition in Albert Park for many, many years, commencing at the old VBA facility, then moving to MSAC as a founding basketball tenant when it was opened in 1997.
CYMS Basketball Association’s 70+ year contribution to quality domestic basketball is consistently acknowledged and appreciated by both players and clubs.
Under the presidencies of Harry Wileman, John Fogarty and Michael Goold CYMS aspired, in the words of its Constitution, to:
“…the building of a more caring community through the team sport of basketball…”
This also led to CYMS becoming a founding member of MCBA.
CYMS Basketball Association personnel continue to be actively involved with MCBA, with Michael Goold chairing the Competitions Advisory Committee and venue manager on Sunday Nights, Glenda De Marinis currently an MCBA Board Member and Debbie Goold part of the employment team as MCBA’s Bookings Officer.
We are proud of CYMS’s history and are excited to continue to advance the benefit of Basketball through the continuing success of MCBA.
