Dylan Thomas

General Board Member

Dylan brings more than 25 years of experience across all levels of basketball to his role on the Cairns Basketball Incorporated (CBI) Board. Born in Mount Isa and raised in Townsville, Dylan has always been deeply involved in the sport as a player, coach, official, and administrator, giving him a well-rounded understanding of the game and the systems that support it.

Dylan’s decision to join the CBI Board was driven by a strong belief in the power of sport (particularly basketball!) to bring people together. He is passionate about basketball as more than just a game, seeing it as a place where people can feel safe, find connection, and escape the pressures of everyday life. Dylan is excited by the opportunity to contribute to the strategic direction of the association and use his experience to help strengthen its future.
 
What Dylan values most about being part of CBI is the strong sense of community and the significant potential of the association, despite the challenges of being regional. He enjoys collaborating with board members from diverse backgrounds, recognising that different strengths and perspectives combine to create meaningful impact on and off the court.
 
Dylan is motivated by the opportunity to help position Cairns Basketball as a regional powerhouse and to create more pathways and opportunities for young people to engage with the sport. Outside of basketball, he enjoys long-distance running and travelling.
