DID YOU KNOW THAT MOST OF OUR UMPIRES ARE UNDER THE AGE OF 18?
The green shirt program has been around for some time, informing players, coaches and spectators that there is an umpire who is in the early stages of their officiating journey.
Now that we are halfway through the season, a good reminder is that most of our referees (green and grey shirts) are minors. Please respect them in carrying out their very important and challenging task. Our community sport relies heavily on those under 18 to officiate our game, and it is therefore our responsibility as supporters of the game, to ensure we provide a positive environment to safeguard and retain our umpires.
Basketball SA have therefore, launched “The Green Whistle Campaign” to try to help reduce the challenges that young referees may face and promote a positive atmosphere during games.
To ensure the future success of this sport that we all love, we need people willing to umpire our basketball games. All officials should be respected and be free from abuse, especially while they develop & grow their skill set.
Please only approach the grey or striped shirt referee or the games manager if you have officiating concerns, and as always – please be respectful to all involved. 🏀
If their whistle is GREEN, they are UNDER 18! 🏀

We have a lost property bin at the south end of Crt 1 that fills up monthly. Clothes, balls and drink bottles traditional get placed in here.
Watches, keys, jewelry, glasses and phones typically get handed into the Court Supervisors in the upstairs office. Or if found by the cleaner it may be found in the cleaners room.
Our lost property get donated to good will 3-4 times year.

U10 boy's were recently merged, as a result the name of this grade has changed . In case your having trouble finding the games here are the fixtures for the rest of this year.

Why did this grade change again? It really isn't fair for some of the teams with boys only just playing there first seasons with some of these games ending in them getting absolutely smashed. Will there be split "divs" for final? Will the umpiring apply for both ends based on the skill sets?
