Basketball Illawarra is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with Tread Right Podiatry & Biomechanics for 2025 and 2026. This marks the first time the podiatry clinic has signed a two-year contract with IBA, reflecting the deepening commitment to supporting the growth and development of basketball in the Illawarra community. Peter Macfarlane, Director and Principal Podiatrist of Tread Right Podiatry & Biomechanics, shared his enthusiasm about the extended partnership: "Although we have been sponsors since 2022, this year is a first for us, signing a 2-year contract. It is such a special opportunity to be able to give back to our community, not only in a financial capacity, but through implementation of educational presentations assisting our up-and-coming sports stars in reducing ankle injuries and getting more from their legs and feet to improve their skills." The sponsorship aims to benefit both the local community and the players by offering ongoing support to IBA's mission, with a focus on injury prevention, education, and foot and ankle health. Tread Right's dedication to helping all athletes thrive is evident through the hands-on podiatric care provided, including specialised treatments for knee, ankle, and foot injuries that help players stay at their best. "The aim of our sponsorship with IBA was for Tread Right Podiatry & Biomechanics to give back to our Illawarra community. When we started our small business some 13 years ago, we had always set our minds on being able to get the business to a position to give back,"  Peter continued. "This sponsorship has exceeded that dream. The IBA community has been a blessing to us. They have allowed us opportunities to celebrate their wins through invitations to home games, presentation evenings, and to develop relationships with players who have entrusted us in providing our hands-on podiatry care for their sore knees, ankles, and feet." The partnership has not only allowed Tread Right to contribute to the community's success but has also fostered lasting relationships with players, coaches, and staff, reinforcing a shared commitment to the health and well-being of young athletes. Executive General Manager at IBA, Nathan Loveday, expressed his pride in the continuation of such a great partnership between the two organisations: "Illawarra Basketball is extremely proud to have Tread Right Podiatry back on board for 2025. Pete and Hayley have been fantastic supporters of our association and we are stoked to have them on board. They are a fantastic organisation and someone we are proud to have associated with us and we hope all our members maximise the benefits of this fantastic partnership" . Peter concludes, "We can’t wait to see where this 2-year sponsorship takes us both, and are looking forward to the current relationships that will be strengthened and new ones that will grow." Illawarra Basketball Association looks forward to another successful partnership with Tread Right Podiatry & Biomechanics, with the goal of enhancing the health, performance, and longevity of local athletes for the coming years.

The Illawarra Basketball Association (IBA) is delighted to announce Ella Dent's return to the Illawarra Hawks for the 2025 season. A product of our junior program, Ella has been a pivotal player since her debut in 2021. Known for her exceptional skills and leadership on the court, Ella has consistently demonstrated her commitment to the team's success. Her dedication and passion for the game have made her an integral part of the Hawks' lineup. Expressing her enthusiasm, Ella shared: "Coming back for another year with my junior club and getting to play alongside some of the girls I grew up playing with and watching is pretty exciting. I’m very much looking forward to a competitive season and seeing how far we can go." In addition to her contributions to the Hawks, Ella has been involved with the Sydney Flames' "Future Flames" program, an initiative aimed at bridging the gap between rising talent in New South Wales and professional opportunities. This program provides aspiring athletes with access to professional-level coaching, strength and conditioning programs, and mentorship, offering a comprehensive pathway to the professional ranks. Head Coach Rod Tremlett also commented on Ella's return: "I am very excited to have Ella sign with the Hawks again for the 2025 season. Ella is an outstanding young player and is widely recognised as one of the best young prospects in NSW. After a stint with the Future Flames Academy, it was a high priority for the Club to gain Ella’s signature again for the upcoming season. Not only is Ella an outstanding young player on the court, she is also a role model off the court, very giving with her time and universally loved at IBA. I can’t wait to get to work with Ella and the team to see what we can achieve this season!" IBA looks forward to the contributions Ella will bring, anticipating a dynamic and competitive season ahead. Stay turned for more NBL1 Signings.
