Geelong Filipino-Australian Ballers Inc.
From GPHB to GFAB Inc — a new identity inspired by the camaraderie that brought us here.
Who We Are
We began as a small group of Filipino International students back in 2018 that shares the same passion in basketball, with simple goal: to create a place where people could play, connect, and belong. As our community grew, so did our vision. What started as a small group of passionate players has evolved into a formal, community‑led organisation dedicated to strengthening our community through sport.
Today, we are a community‑driven organisation built on culture, connection, and belonging. Through basketball and pickleball, we create a welcoming space for adults aged 18+ to stay active, meet new people, and build meaningful friendships. Our programs are open to everyone — including international students or new to Geelong looking for a community to connect with. Beyond the court, we promote cultural inclusion, fair play, and integrity in everything we do. We are a non‑profit organisation committed to long‑term, sustainable growth. Our programs, leagues, and initiatives are designed to serve the community, celebrate diversity, and build a stronger future for sport. This is who we are — a community united through sport, culture, and purpose.
