The Redbacks play their home games at Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre.
Perth Basketball Association (PBA) was established in 1964 as Perth Basketball Club.[3] Nicknamed the Demons in the 1970s,[4] Perth competed in the Western Australian Basketball Federation's (WABF) District Competition. The association claimed men's premierships in 1965, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1976 and 1977, while the women's team won a premiership in 1975.[5]
SBL / NBL1 Westedit
1989 saw the formation of the State Basketball League (SBL) with both a men's and women's competition. Perth, trading as the Redbacks, entered a team into both the Men's SBL and Women's SBL. Both teams were successful in winning inaugural championships in 1989, with the men's team defending their title in 1990. Future NBA player Luc Longley was a member of the Redbacks' back-to-back championship squads.[6]
In 1997, the men's team won their third championship. This was followed by the women's team winning their second championship in 2000.[6] In 2017, the men's team ended the club's championship drought with a 103–70 win over the Joondalup Wolves in the grand final.[7][8][9]
