President's Update!! Games, Saturday, Tuesday etc

Hi Team
 
The court plan is ready for Saturday with our first game being a much awaiting clash of under 8 teams at 9.15 and finishing with Cougars at 5.15pm.
As I have previously emailed there is no option to change times so please don't request it.
 
We are hoping to have a cheer squad available and have pom poms available for any volunteers.
 
Hope to see you all there in full voice supporting our teams.
 
On another topic we are conducting registration for our adult teams at 5 pm next Monday for all that are interested in joining our Tuesday night teams. If you are interested please come so we can make sure we have the paperwork and uniforms available.  There is plenty of interest at this stage but we need to confirm our teams and numbers.
 
Hope to see you on Saturday
 
Regards Wilton

Presidents update

As our teams are preparing for the finals it is now time to step up recruiting for next season. We have entered 2 more under 8 teams and 1 under 10 girls team this coming season.These teams this season were full and we have needed to enter extra teams to allow more court time for the players and the chance for new players to join. The growth in these age groups is due to the fantastic work by the coaches and the programs/culture they have created.

Training will continue for all teams during the finals. The courts are available and it is a good opportunity to work on improvements. I am also inviting and expected new players to come along with the view of joining next season.

We will have some new coaches at the same time trying to recruit more. If you are interested please see me.
The adult teams are also entering their respective finals with all teams very competitive. This again is the time to register your interest in playing adult basketball on Tuesday nights for Newlands as we plan to enter extra teams next season. Please see Daphne if you are interested. We would love to have you join and no experience is required.

Good luck to all teams in finals, play with pride, have fun and continue the Newlands culture of respecting and treating all as equals.

Your President
Wilton McDonald
