Well that's a wrap on our second trip to Adelaide for the Easter Classic Basketball tournament. What a weekend! Three teams, 18 games, 14 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Two grand finals, one championship🏆.
24 amazing young people playing their hearts out every time they stepped out on the court. Any absolutely awesome group of kids to be around and an absolute privilege to coach.
To see them all interacting with each other in such a positive way, forging new friendships and creating lifelong memories was an absolute honour to be able to witness.
A huge thank you to our sponsors LJ Ho**er Applecross and WA Premix, your support is much appreciated.
An even bigger thank you to Amanda Stoddart for doing the bulk of the organising to make this trip possible, we couldn't do it without your passion and dedication.
Massive thanks also go out to Nikki Dragicevic for her work behind the scenes, Callum Stoddart for coaching and looking after the boys, Jess Nico for coaching and looking after her boys, Inga Good for managing the u16 boys team, Teressa Trezise and Suzana Vulin Ex Poznanovic for managing the girls team and making my life easier as the coach, Ned Vulin for being my navigator and Paul Trezise for being my drinking buddy😅.
Thanks to the parents who came along to support the teams.
It's a hectic and quite exhausting weekend but it's all worth it when reflecting back and thinking about how much the kids (and adults😅) enjoy themselves.
