The reason clubs have not opened their registration windows yet is because we are waiting for basketballs governing bodies to ratify their annual fees. This is due to happen this weekend at SA Country Basketballs AGM. Soon after this online registrations will be permitted.
As always payment ...will be required at the time of registration.
AUSSIE HOOPERS!! Obviously with the closure of the stadium due to the Whyalla Show there will be no Aussie Hoops this Friday.
An Email has been sent out to all families to let them know.
Keep practising your skills and we will see you on the 26th!
The Whyalla Show Society takeover the stadium Sat morning on the 13th Aug and hand it back to us on Mon the 22nd.
The venue will be locked and unavailable to all other users in this period.
Ok kids with Summer season registration just a weeks away its time to start practicing 😉
The long awaited WBA Summer season start date has been set for Oct 17th. All clubs have again agreed to synchronize their registration windows to Aug 27th -Sept 8th. We have found this is the cleanest way to manage player/team transfers.
Unlike the rest of the country the WBA have decided ...to freeze their fees for our members. However SAC and our other governing bodies have warned us to expect an increase again this season.
**REMINDER** Aussie Hoops today 4.30pm at the stadium, bring your ball and drink bottle.
Also, it's not too late to register if you still want your son or daughter to participate as long as they have already turned 5yrs.
Thankyou, see you there
