**IMPORTANT INFO if you haven't already registered for the Junior Season**

The Mixed Junior Season starting will be starting NEXT WEEK. Registrations and Expressions of Interest close this Friday

If your child wants to be in a team, they have to come to at least one of the pre-Easter sessions to be held over the next two weeks. Attendance at both sessions is preferable.

If they are keen to play and are in Grade 3 to 6, sign them up to the full season via Play HQ. Year 7 players (boys & girls) born in 2012 are also eligible for this comp. (Link Below)

If they are in Grade 2 and were hoping to play this year, contact us to get them on the list for the pre-Easter grading sessions.

If your child (or you) are a bit unsure if the junior competition is a good fit, contact us to express interest in using the pre-Easter sessions as a "try before you buy" opportunity. Indoor sport can be an overwhelming environment. We can't promise anything, but we we will try to accommodate anyone who wants to give basketball a go. The Mini Taipans is always an option if this comp is too big of a first step.

A final reminder that there are a few minor changes to how we will run the Junior Comp this season;

More time spent on making sure the teams are a balanced mixed of size, gender, age & ability. Hence the importance of attending the next two weeks.

Stop-Go Reffing. In short, if regular mistakes are being made, the refs will briefly stop the game to explain the relevant rule or skill. The trade-off to a few seconds of lost game time will be improved game-play. We anticipate that after a few weeks these interruptions to the flow of the game will reduce.

A "less is more" approach from the coaches. Our coaches will be encouraged to focus less on the scoreboard, but more on encouraging the kids to play a clean game of basketball that involves each player equally, regardless of ability. This is achieved by having more focus and interaction with the kids on the bench than with the kids on the court. Experience is not required as it is hoped that novice coaches will learn as much from stop-go reffing as the players. "Playing to Win" coaching will be encouraged and introduced as the kids progress to the Senior Girls/Boys seasons.

To express interest in the pre-Easter sessions before you commit to an $80 registration fee, or because your Grade 2 child wants to prove their mettle, TEXT Kate Harris - 0458904758.

If there are any other questions or doubtful points please contact Ash Ellemor - 0417359613

** HIGH SCHOOL BOY's COMP UPDATE **

There is no guarantee that there will be a Senior Boys Comp this season.

We want it too happen, but we need to lock in the number of players and volunteers before we can create anything on PlayHQ.

Player numbers not only effect the number of teams, but also the cost per person.

Volunteer numbers help us comply with our Child Safety Code of Conduct and help alleviate a number of issues we had last year associated with trying to tame teenage boys.

If your high school boy is keen to play this season then we need you to register interest via our TryBooking link below.

Eligibility:

Any boy at High School is eligible to attend the pre-season grading and info sessions (unless they turn 18 at any stage during 2024).

Year 7 boys born in 2012 have the option to sign up for the Junior Comp. (refer to the relevant post)

Clink this link to express interest in the Senior Boys season:

NB: This link will also ask parents if they are available to volunteer during the season. There is also an option to express interest to play in a competition even if your child can't make either of the pre-season sessions.

New Post on the New Page......

Play like a girl!

Girls can, and do, play contact sports just as well, if not better than their male contemporaries. Our young women can be just as fierce and intimidating as our Taipan logo portrays.

The Timboon Basketball Association is committed to rebuilding an open women's competition from the ground up.

We have a core group of high school girls who are focused on honing their skills on the court under the guidance of strong female role models in the community.

We have a growing percentage of girls in the junior comp, and we will be pushing to create a representative squad from this pool of future female champions.

Also, we have the support of Warrnambool Mermaid powerhouse Keele Hillas. She will be at the stadium this afternoon putting our juniors and senior girls through their paces.

Finally, and by far not least, we wouldn't even have an association if not for the women who are the backbone of this club in supporting roles; Our refs on the court, the mum's on the sideline, coaches bench and behind the scoring table, and of course the mums who make up the majority of the committee.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞?

To a new page, just one click away.
(link below)

𝐖𝐡𝐲?

The current page is over due for a face-lift, but no one has access to do the job, so a brand new page that permits full admin access for the committee has been created.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮?

This page will still exist, but will hopefully become dormant as members like & follow the new page, while unfollowing this page in the process.

Posts will still appear on this page, but will be shared from the new page with a "New Post on the New Page" prompt.

To avoid doubling up on info, unlike the old page before you leave. It will still be here, so photos etc won't be lost.
