THE ROCKETEER
PLAYER ASSESSMENT NIGHT
Our next player assessment night will be held over 2 nights at the Rowville Community Centre.
Assessment nights assist the Age Coordinators in their role of placing
players into respective teams and grade levels for future seasons.
ALL players are asked to attend the appropriate session for their age
group. Parents are also invited to come
along and see how their sons / daughters are developing against the other
players in the club in their age group.
All players are asked to bring along a ball.
The times and dates are as follows:

We are anticipating that these sessions will be taken by a Raiders and a
Rangers coach on each night.
We encourage coaches to attend where possible to get a few pointers and
coaching idea, and to review the status of their players development.
PLEASE NOTE:
Those teams normally training at the community centre on Monday and
Tuesday nights will NOT have a training session on these two evenings unless
alternative
arrangements have been made with the coaching director.
UNDER
8, 9 AND 10 COACHES
Due to the poor response in regard to
coaching reports last month (NONE) We
ask once again that
all those coaching
Under 8, 9 and 10 teams submit a BRIEF
report for publication in the next
newsletter.
Please forward these reports to your coaching director by the end
of July for inclusion in the August edition.
Thank you.
Following is a letter presented at our
recent Annual General Meeting on behalf of our newly appointed president, Dean
Templeton.
It may be of interest to those who were
unable to attend on the day.
Unfortunately
I am unable to attend today’s meeting and presentation day due to business
commitments. However I would like to
pass on some thoughts regarding my election as President of the Rowville
Rockets Basketball Club.
Firstly,
I would like to make a special mention of, and thank the immediate past
President, Peter Farragher. Peter has
worked tirelessly for the club and his contribution as President is very much
appreciated by all of the committee, parents and players. Peter may have finished as President, but
thankfully will remain on the committee as a
coordinator. Thank you Peter on a job well done.
I
would also like to thank the retiring members of the committee: Ros Copeland,
Debbie Wardrope and Aldo Sedevcich.
Each of these people has made significant contributions to the running
of the club and we thank them sincerely for their efforts. Raelene Unsworth is stepping down as our
hardworking secretary and will assist Charles with the Treasury, but I would
like to make a special point of thanking Raelene for her tremendous work as
secretary.
To
the new members of the committee and those remaining on board, thank you for
all of your efforts. It has not been an
easy year, we have made a number of changes over the past twelve months, and at
times things were a little chaotic.
However, I believe we have a terrific committee and we all have the
chance to confirm Rowville Basketball Club as a major domestic club in both the
Knox and Dandenong Associations, and a significant sporting club within the
Rowville community. With the work that Mark Plumridge and Charles Heap are
putting into our database, we are well on track to achieve our aims quickly and
efficiently.
Our
aim in the next year is to give as many Rowville children, the opportunity to
play basketball at a level they are comfortable with, in an environment that is
both fun and non-threatening and to make every effort to advance the
children
in their development as players. We also
have a larger obligation to the community at large to assist in the overall
development of these children as solid members of our society.
In
order to achieve this we need your help.
As parents and members of this club it is vital that you make every
effort to help in any way you can.
Whether as coaches or team managers, or committee members or any other
role you can think of. The club is only
as strong as you make it. The committee
is entirely voluntary and we are always open for help in any areas. If you think you can help please call me!!
Remember
that this is your club and we need your help!
Thank
you and enjoy the rest of the day.
