Administration
Australian Defence Force Basketball Association is administered by the ADBA committee and is responsible to the Australian Defence Sports Council. The ADFBA was originally formed in 1983. The first committee was established by six members. LEUT Bruce Fallon, Will Van Weedenberg, MAJ Adrian Corkeron, WGCDR Bob Shortridge, SQNLDR Amanda Leslie, and FSGT John Nordheim.The 2010 National Championships was disbanded following an investigation into the conduct of the 2009 Championships.
ADFBA Official Logo
The first ADFBA logo was designed during the 1999 Arafura Games by a committee of those attending the Games.The ADF Sports Council recommended that the word 'Force' be removed from ADF Sports Associations. A re-branded logo as the 'ADBA' was designed by Kellie Davis and approved by the ADBA Committee meeting held at RAAF Fairbairn, Canberra ACT in 2012.
The ADFSC later retraced this decision and a refreshed ADFBA logo based on the original 1999 design was reinstalled.
