Message from Basketball Hutt Valley.

This is a reminder there are no basketball games this Monday 31st August - Thursday 3rd September due to College Sport Week.

There will be games for Year 1&2 teams on Friday though.

Next week will be semi-finals for all Year 5&6 and Year 7&8 grades. The draw for these games will be up later this week. Finals for these grades will be on Wed 16th and Thur 17th September.

Year 3&4 grades will have one more round robin game on Monday 7th Sept, followed by finals on Mon 14th Sept.

Year 1&2 grades will have their last round robin game this Friday 4th Sept, followed by finals next Friday 11th September.

Another reminder to please pass on to your teams - please no bouncing balls on the sidelines, this makes it difficult for our officials and referees to run the games on court. Please ensure your team is sitting down on the sidelines or away from the court with balls.

Many thanks,
Basketball Hutt Valley
