Annual General Meeting - Presidents Report 17/12/17

 

The Newlands Basketball Club was established in 2007, our aim is to actively engage and involve our community in the benefits of participating, supporting and enjoying all aspects of basketball.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for everyone to experience the excitement and the joy of the game of basketball. We will teach skills associated with our sport, teach our members to be team players, provide training and games at safe and healthy venues.

The Newlands Basketball Club is managed by family and friends of players.

All committee and team officials are volunteers.

We come from, represent and reflect our community.

We will enrich, connect and include everyone.

We actively and enthusiastically participate in every aspect of the game and promote the club by working together, helping others, encouraging and being involved.

 2017 has been a year where we have focussed on stabilising our teams rather than growing them. We achieved this and were also able to increase the number of teams.  We now have 36 teams playing for this season.

2017 year included:

• Summer 2017 finals (Results and updates are available on the Newlands Blog and face book page.)
• Winter 2017 finals
• Introduction of 4-5 year old Academy
• Coaching clinics (More planned for 2018)
• Increased numbers of teams, players, coaches, team managers and referees
• Increased number of Coburg Giants representative players
• Coaching clinics
• Bunnings BBQ Coburg
• Pink and Blue round
• Introduction of coaches being remunerated.

 

2018 will include:

• Introduction of under 8 girls team
• More coaching clinics
• And many of the activities from last year

For the first time I am adding some things that excite me and some opportunities for improvement.
