Mount Lilydale Basketball Club (known as the Lakers) was founded by MLMC teachers more than 20 years ago. It started with three teams and has grown to now number 50 teams, yet the connection with the College remains strong.
Many of the players are either current or past MLMC students, have siblings attending MLMC or are at a feeder school to MLMC. The club is run by passionate volunteers of which many have their own connections to the College. Teams train in the Doyle Centre and games are played at Lilydale, Kilsyth and Oxley stadiums and Croydon Leisure Centre is also used on Saturdays for the boys.
The summer season begins in Term 4 and the club is looking for more players. The youngest players play in mini ball for under 8s (girls) and under 7s (boys) and can continue up to under 21s. The under 8, 9 and 10 girls play on Tuesday nights, and under 12 to 21 girls play on Wednesday nights, while the boys play on Saturdays.
