End of Season Update

Dear Players, Parents and Carers,

Sadly, for most teams, the season has come to an end. I hope you have all enjoyed it, I have been very proud of the way our players, coaches, and spectators have handled themselves and represented our club. It feels like the end of the season comes very quickly and in 2026, this was certainly the case! JUNIOR WIND UPS (Raiders Hoops, U10s and U12s) All participants in under 12, and below will receive a medallion for their contribution to the team and our club. These will be given to managers to hand this coming weekend at Bendat (below) once the singlets and bags are returned. We encourage teams to have their own wind ups, please liaise with your manager regarding this.

SINGLET AND COACHES BAG RETURNS 5 SEPTEMBER 2026

Singlet and coaches bag/equipment drop off is between 9am and 12pm at Bendat (outside of Court 1 and Court 2). This is where refunds for each team (via the team manager) shall be electronically completed through PayID. YOUTH WIND UP TROPHY NIGHT! 16th September (U14-U18 and Integrated Basketball Players) The Youth Wind up will be held at the Newman College Gym on Wednesday the 16th of September.

Teams will come in age groups and have their trophies presented in front of their peers. We will also be acknowledging teams who made finals and those who won Grand Finals, our Junior Coaches and our Club Awards.

The awards start at 6pm, and the time for each group will be provided to the team managers.

After your presentation session, players will be welcome to head to the club rooms for a soft drink food for the players and families. The bar will be open for adults.
