Basketball

Welcome to Bishop Druitt College Basketball for Semester 2. We are looking forward to an enjoyable and exciting season playing basketball, having fun and proudly representing our school in the local Coffs Harbour competition.

As most of you are aware in 2009 Bishop Druitt College Basketball will be managed by Beth Hilton in Primary and by Michelle Walker in Secondary. If parents have any concerns or suggestions please feel free to contact either of us at the school via our emails or school phone number. We are particularly interested in any ideas or suggestions from current players and parents.

Grading Day for Primary and High School players

We will be holding a grading day for primary players at a date to be advised. It is our intention to organise and select teams to ensure that players are placed in a division that will enable them to develop as a player, learn team skills and have fun. Grading for high school students will only occur if needed.

Domestic Competition Information and Costing.

The following is the information regarding the domestic competition in which we will be entering. These are guides only :

• Buses will run from the School to the Stadium on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week. At a cost of $2 per person. Parents are required to pick players up from the Stadium after training at 5pm sharp.
• There are two separate competitions each year. These will be billed and treated as separate. The competition game fees are $45 per team per game. There is also a nomination fee per team of $40. There are approximately 18 games per competition.
• Each player will be billed $120 per competition. This will be billed in separate amounts of $60 each term. (If you choose to train on the school courts your fees will be cut to $50 per term.) This will cover the cost of court fees, nomination fees, training, balls, forfeits, thank you for coaches etc.
