We hope you have all enjoyed the break and the Xmas festivities!

This Sunday 14th January both District and Domestic training resumes, and will be the same Sunday training times and venues as pre-Xmas.

As some people are still away, please let your coaches know if you’re unavailable.

Just a few things to be aware of:

STARplex carnival
25-28th January
This carnival is compulsory for all teams (except those going to Eltham Carnival in Melbourne) and the club will be including the carnival fee in your season fees. We will be running the CDBC BBQ at STARplex during the carnival, and ALL teams will be required to help out at the BBQ for a scheduled 1 hour block at some stage. We please ask that all teams fulfil this requirement as 5-6 people/parents per team will be needed. Failure for teams to fulfil this will result in the team being charged the carnival fee, so please help out.

Team codes for players to register will be sent to TMs who will coordinate with their teams. Players need to be registered in their teams by Friday 19th at the latest.

Championship season:
Resumes 1st-3rd of February. There will be a few changes to district championship seasons. For Div 1/2 on Friday nights, there will be only 3 game times not 4. This is to shorten the night so that u18s does not finish so late. Therefore each week an age group will be located at a neutral venue, such as the state basketball centre. More to come on this and the schedule should be out in the next week from BSA.

The other change is that U18 D3 and below will move from Friday night to Thursday night. We are aware that this will impact our training schedule as our U18 boys D3/4 and D5/6 squads currently train Thursday night. We are currently looking at options and court availability to change these, and teams will be notified ASAP. At this stage mid week training next week will remain as is for these teams.

Domestic/Northern Roar:
There may be changes to teams after the resumption of training this Sunday. More info to follow next week.

Looking forward to hearing the noise of bouncing basketballs again on Sunday 🙌
