‘Balls4All’

Beavers under 10 boys were recipients of 8 new basketballs recently as part of the Australian Sports Foundation and Spartan Sport’s ‘Balls4all’ program. ‘Balls4All’ is the biggest donation of free sporting goods to clubs, schools and organisations in Australian history, with almost 50,000 items available to clubs.

Spartan ambassador and former Australian Cricket captain, Michael Clarke urging all sports clubs to get involved.

“The initiative between Spartan Sports and the Australian Sports Foundation is about effecting positive social change. We want to encourage more adults and children to get outdoors and play a sport they can enjoy.”

Beavers Club Fees

In the coming weeks, we will begin collecting our annual club fees. Peter Allan, our club secretary and treasurer, will be sending out a collection sheet to representatives from every Beavers team. We suggest that the team coach delegates the job of collecting the fees to a parent with a child in that team. Please complete the fee collection before the end of the second school term (Friday, 30 June).

The fee is $25 per player; or if a family has 2 or more players in the Beavers Club then the maximum payment will be $50.

When all the fees have been collected either hand it on to Peter or place it in an envelope  clearly marked with ‘Beavers Club Fees’, your team name, age group and division and leave it at the Bendigo Stadium Sports Office for collection.

The largest expense the Beavers Basketball Club has is the cost of training court hire, the $1 extra that each player pays with their game fee each week goes toward this cost however this only covers a portion of the overall expense. To ensure that the club is able to maintain its financial viability and pay for all the courts that our teams use it is important that every player helps by paying the annual club fee.

The Beavers Basketball Club policy is to try and keep the costs of playing down to a reasonable amount, we collect the club fees at this time of the year because we feel that this will not be as big a burden as collecting the fee at the start of the school year.

If any of our club parents have any further questions regarding the club fees, please contact Peter Allan on 5443 9370 / 0419 394 783 or email him here.

We all look forward to a fantastic year of basketball, kicking off with the second half of the domestic Summer competition at the end of January. Be sure to check the fixture here to see when you’re next on court.

Before the summer competition continues, however, our attention turns to the Annual Bendigo Junior Classic tournament held over the Australia Day long weekend (Thurs 26, Fri 27 & Sat 28 Jan – with a wheelchair tournament on Sun 29). Many of our Beavers players will be on show, representing Bendigo, so be sure to get along to a game to cheer them on!

Beavers Basketball Club will again be managing the Girton Stadium courts over the 3 days. A major fundraising opportunity for our club, if you are able to spare a few hours to help out, please email Peter Allan and let him know when you are available.

See you back on court for another big year of Beavers Basketball!

Please enjoy the break, be safe on the roads and bring in 2017 in great style!

We’re looking forward to a fantastic new year – filled with many great wins, possibly a few heartbreaking losses and plenty of memorable match-ups! Keep track of the Summer season fixture here, to make sure you’re ready to go once we’re back into it!
