The community is well alive with a rich sporting culture. The Burrumbuttock Tennis and Cricket Clubs are essential to the life of the inhabitants. The football and netball club has recently merged with neighbouring town Brocklesby and remains the premier sporting association in the wider Burrumbuttock area. The Brocklesby-Burrumbuttock under seventeens team won the Hume Football League grand final of 2011 against Howlong. The senior team won the 2013 premiership after finishing on top of the home and away ladder. Darryn McKimmie lead the team and was the first coach in 3 decades to taste the success of being a premiership for both Brocklesby and Burrumbuttock. Both towns have recently named their 'Favourite Sons and Daughters', with some of the names currently playing being Mitchell Koschitzke (first successful premiership captain ((under 17s)), Brad Scott, Sam O'Connor, Kate Taylor, Luke and Sam Schilg, Chris, Joe and Ronnie Boulton.
