February, 2002

 

Welcome back to basketball everyone, I hope you had a safe and enjoyable

Christmas break and are looking forward to basketball again.  Well, maybe the parents would like a longer break, but I’m sure the players are keen to be playing again.

There are only a few games remaining in the Dandenong summer season and for those in contention for finals, make the most of those last few games and good luck.

Presentation day was a big success; there was plenty of positive feedback.  We will review the day at our next meeting and some changes may be made.  If you have any suggestions please email, mail or talk to a committee member and pass on your ideas.

The grading period is over in the Knox summer season and hopefully everyone is in their correct grade ….  Good Luck.

In this newsletter is a list of players who made Knox Raiders and Dandenong Rangers

Representative Teams.  I would like to congratulate these players and all other players who had a go at these try outs and weren’t selected.  Well Done.

Yours Sincerely,

Peter Farragher

Door Charge

ATTENTION  -  ALL COACHES

Last year we invited coaches from all age groups to submit reports as to how their team was progressing, for inclusion in the monthly newsletter.  We have changed the format so that each age group will be nominated to write in with a BRIEF report on their team in a given month.

(eg. It’s U/8’s and U/9’s for March!!!!!!)

 

Of course during end of season finals, all coaches are

invited to share their teams battles and triumphs with us.

 

UNDER 8 AND UNDER 9 COACHES

We would like all those coaching Under 8 and Under 9 teams to submit a BRIEF report for publication in the next newsletter.

Please forward these to your coaching director by the end of February for inclusion in the March edition.  Thankyou.


 

ASSESSMENT NIGHT

 

We shall be holding the Annual Player Assessment Night again on

Friday 22nd February, 2002.

This will assist the Age Co-ordinators in their role of placing players into respective teams and grade levels for the upcoming winter and summer seasons of 2002.  We ask for all players from the nominated age groups to attend and for all

parents to come and watch the skill levels of the other players in the same age group.  Coaches are encouraged to attend to get some pointers and review the status of their players development compared to players from other teams. 

All players are asked to bring along a ball.  There will be no entry fee to enter the stadium.

Note:         There is no need for players from Under 16, 18 or 20 teams to attend                         the assessment night this year.


                                                                     


Sports do not build character.

 

They reveal it.
