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.

Excitements

• Academy
• Under 8 girls teams
• Coaching clinics
• Improve stadium facilities such as the drink fountain and roof repairs
• Number of junior coaches
• Our huge number of other volunteers
• Club comradeship
• Number of Newlands sponsored referees
• Club socks
• Under 20 girls team
• 3 out of 5 under 20 boys teams
• Coaches remuneration program
• Hard work of Luci and Liz

FINALS RESULTS.

 

Here are the results of our recent final series.

 

Newlands had a total 33 teams in the competition last season

6 or 18% of the teams were under 8 & 10's and did not have finals

27 or 82% of those teams were eligible for finals

15 or 56% of those teams qualified for the Grand Final.

8 or 56% of those teams won their Grand Finals.

 

These results are very good when you consider that we have multiple teams that play against each other and eliminated each other from their finals.

 

 While the above results show the strength of our players, coaches, team managers and supporters, I continue to measure our success on the number of players we have representing our club not the game results.

Exciting news for under 8 players

The CBA has agreed to commence an under 8 girls competition in Winter 2018 season.
The season will commence with an under 8 girls and mixed competition the first season then progress into a under 8 boys and girls competition the season after.

We now have this season to prepare and grow our under 8 players so that we will be able to enter separate teams in the first season.

This is a huge win for the competition as eventually our girls will not have to play against boys.

You can assist by starting to recruit 6 year old players.

Here is the schedule for Saturday 2nd September , last fixtured game for all u/12's to u/20's before finals

Please note u/8's and u/10's have 2 more games left after this weekend ..They do not have finals ...Their season ends Saturday 16th September and they will receive participation trophies for their presentation on that day

Skylights – Condensation Issue Coburg Basketball Stadium

Update from Sports stadium Victoria (SSV)

Dear Patrons,

I would like to take this opportunity to provide an update regarding the condensation here at Coburg Basketball Stadium.

We Sports Stadiums Victoria, who manage this site on behalf of Moreland City Council – (This site is a council asset and owned by Moreland City Council) have been lobbying with The Coburg Basketball Association for well over 12 months now to invest in improvements here at the stadium, with the roofing being high on the agenda. To date we have had no support offered to any redevelopment from the local council.

Please note that my reasoning for mentioning the above is to hopefully gain further user support to apply pressure on the council to invest into this asset.

In mentioning the above please note that we Sports Stadiums Victoria fully understand the frustration experienced by the teams and the parents of the kids participating in these fixtures and we have commenced action in eradicating this ongoing problem through the colder months in the future.

We Sports Stadiums Victoria have engaged the surfaces of Roofrite to take out all the Skylights within the Coburg Basketball Stadium and replace these with insulation and metal roof sheeting. (this is what is on the rest of the roof).

This is a $30,000 job and we Sports Stadiums Victoria will be funding the full upgrade to the roof. We have paid a $10,000 deposit and we are working with Roofrite to set best times for works to be completed.

With such a high usage of the stadium throughout term 3, coupled with our regular domestic and representative programs we are realistically looking at the 2^nd week of the school holidays (2^nd of October) to have these works completed. This will provide a less disruptive period of time to complete this work.

We thank you for your patience over this colder than normal winter and we appreciate your feedback regarding this matter.

We hope our actions will resolve any ongoing condensation issues moving forward.

Kind Regards

Rod Leonard

Sports Stadiums Victoria

Hi club members

It is shortly time to finalise the teams for our new and upcoming season.

We have developed a team selection policy to assist this process.

I have attached a copy to this email.

On another topic.

Our club committee meetings have stalled for some time now and the running of the club has fallen on mine, Luci and Liz's shoulders.  We would like to commence our committee meeting once again as I know that we have a lot of talented members who have much to contribute to the running of our club.

In the past each team were required to provide a committee member and it would be great if this could happen again.  Please consider my comments. I would be interested in your thoughts about conducting our meetings and getting the appropriate people to attend.

Liz, Luci or myself will speak with you when we get the opportunity.

On another topic.

We have our Bunnings sausage sizzle on Sunday the 20th and it would be great to have our roster filled with as many people as possible.  Please ask your parents to help as we seem to have the same people all the time.  While these people have a good time and enjoy themselves I am concerned that it is the same people who always assist and it would be great if more people volunteered to help.

Thank you for your time in reading this email and attached policy.  I look forward to your appropriate response.

Kind regards
Wilton
Newlands President

 

Team Selection Policy

This policy was written to assist with the selection and structure of all teams. Due to the variances in competition rules, genders and age groups it is not possible to implement one policy for all teams. Therefore all age groups, genders and grades will have their own team selection criteria. Factors considered include the size and numbers, age, more than one team skill level, top up players, make up players and training times. Make up and top up player can only be registered in one team per age group and top up players can only play one age group up after signing the applicable authorization form. Every effort must be made to place new players into suitable teams. Special circumstances will allow changes from the below but this must be approved by the Club President.

 Under 8 (Development competition)
As this is a development competition the team is capped at 12 players depending permission from the CBA administrator to play more than 10 players. Team numbers will always be increased with the view of creating new teams as the numbers increase. Players must be of school age and not under 10 unless special permission has been granted by the CBA Administrator. Mixed teams of boys and girls are encouraged. Training times will depend on the coaches availability although the 4 pm timeslot should be favoured. Make up and top up players are not applicable to this age group.

Under 10 (Development competition)
As this is a development competition the team is capped at 10 players. Team numbers will always be increased with the view of creating new teams as the numbers increase. Players must be under 10 unless special permission has been granted by the CBA Administrator. Separate teams for boys and girls are required. Training times will depend on the coaches availability. Make up and top up players are applicable to this age group. Make up players can be added as registered players after the completion of the grading games. Top up players can be used from the under 8 teams based on player availability and skill level. Top up players are only allowed top up in one team per age group.

Under 12 boys and girls (All grades)

Teams are capped at 10 players. Team numbers will always be increased with the view of creating new teams as the numbers increase. It is preferred to keep the players together in the same team as age groups change. Players must be under the listed age unless special permission has been granted by the CBA Administrator.
