In an exciting new chapter for the Illawarra Basketball community, Wiseman Park Wollongong City Bowling Club has announced its sponsorship of Basketball Illawarra. This partnership brings a wave of support to our thriving basketball scene, with Wiso's taking on the prestigious role of naming rights partner for the Champions League and standing strong behind the NBL1 teams for the upcoming 2025-26 season.
Located just across the road from the Snakepit in Gwynneville, Wiso's is more than just a bowling club; it's a community hub that champions local sports. This new partnership cements their commitment to fostering talent and creating more opportunities for players at all levels.
“Wiso’s Wollongong is proud to come onboard as a sponsor of Illawarra Basketball. Our strategy is to support other local sporting clubs in the area to build positive community relationships that will also benefit our club" says Mark Crossingham, Executive General Manager of Wiso's.
He continues "There have been some great sportspeople who have come from the Illawarra and we hope that this sponsorship can assist in increasing participation for local Basketballers. We look forward to seeing the Champs League competition grow over the next few years & we wish the NBL1 team all the very best for the 2025-26 season".
This partnership between Wiso's and Basketball Illawarra represents more than just corporate sponsorship – it’s a reflection of the shared values of teamwork, passion, and community pride. As neighbors, both Wiso's and Basketball Illawarra have long served the region, each bringing people together through sport and entertainment.
Executive General Manager of the Illawarra Basketball Association, Nathan Loveday, expressed his pride in the new sponsorship, saying, "The Illawarra Basketball Association is extremely grateful to welcome Wiso's on board as naming rights partner of our Champions League as well as a proud supporter of our NBL1 Team. This partnership is fantastic and we encourage all of our members to sign up and take advantage of the fantastic facilities. We look forward to hosting our season launch for our Senior Reps with a barefoot bowls night in the new year as well.
