Players, coaches, families and sponsors wrapped up the season with the event at the Rochester Bowls Club, with coaches and team managers presented with a thank-you gift for their work during the season.
Rochester Basketball Association president Greg Tiller said it was a great event to bring the season to a close.
“It was a good roll-up of kids to show the support for the coaches, team managers, parents and everyone involved,” Tiller said.
“It is a good way to end the season because when we play squad basketball we have games going on in Shepparton or Bendigo and all over the district.
“Not everyone gets to catch up with everyone, so it’s good to finish off the squad season with everyone getting together, from our under-12s through to the under-18s.
“From a team aspect and as an association it’s good to get all those team groups together."
Tiller thanked all the families, players, coaches and committee members for their work and dedication during the season.
He also thanked Rochester’s major sponsors, Kits Kafe and North Vic Security, for their support.

Meanwhile, RBA’s domestic competition champions will be crowned in tonight’s grand finals.
The Warriors and 76ers will face off for the junior crown at 5:30pm, while the Angry Magpies and Stray Cats will go head-to-head in the intermediate decider at 6:30pm.
A grand final win for the 76ers would be extra special for Chance Powles, with the 13-year-old coaching the team while she is sidelined with an injury.
Both finals will be played at the Campaspe Valley Community Centre, with members of the public encouraged to come along.
Five teams took part in the junior competition, with six teams participating in the intermediate competition.
All the sides are based at Rochester, with players from surrounding towns taking part.
