Another year of Bendigo domestic basketball has come to a close! Time to rest, recharge and enjoy the festive season.
From everyone at the Beavers Basketball Club, we wish you all the very best for Christmas and the New Year… here’s hoping it’s an absolute ‘slam dunk!’
Looking forward to seeing Team Red back on court in 2024.
A new season is on the horizon! Please read the important information below regarding the Summer 2023/24 season.
A big change has been made to the Beavers game payment policy for the Summer season. At a recent Beavers meeting, it was decided that the club would move to a ‘per season’ payment system (similar to other domestic basketball clubs). There will no longer be game day payments. This change has been made due to a change of policy by the Bendigo Basketball Association.
For the 2023/24 summer season, players will need to pay a one off $150 payment to cover summer season games. This payment is in addition to the $20 club fee paid when registering to your team.
From the Winter 2024 season, the game fee will be added to the club fee and payable upon registration/linking to your team.
We understand that this is quite a big change and a substantial financial outlay at the beginning of the season. We are working on payment options and ask that you discuss with your team manager or email secretary@beaversbasketball.com.au or admin@beaversbasketball.com.au if you need assistance.
We also ask that all coaches and team managers please link to their teams as soon as possible to help us communicate with each team while we make this change.
As the domestic basketball year comes to a close, Beavers Basketball Club would like to wish all of our Bendigo basketball family a very Merry Christmas and a safe, happy and prosperous new year!
We look forward to seeing everyone back on court in ’23 for another fabulous year of Bendigo Basketball Association domestic basketball!
The Victorian Government recently relaunched the 2022 Fair Play Code, an update of the 2018 blueprint that sets out the standards of behaviour expected of everyone involved in sport and active recreation.
At the heart of the Fair Play Code (FPC) are five principles of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Safety and Fairness. These principles apply to everyone involved in sport in Victoria, no matter what role they play. Bad behaviour, violence, cheating and intimidation has no place in sport and active recreation in our state.
With around 2.2 million participants, 980,000 paid staff and volunteers, 12,000 sports clubs, 9,500 community sports facilities, sport and active recreation is an integral part of Victoria’s social life, and we need your help to promote the important messages of the Fair Play Code.
Thanks to all who volunteered to attend the Beavers Basketball Club fundraising BBQ on Saturday at Bunnings Kangaroo Flat.
A crisp, July winter’s morning didn’t deter the DIY crowd, with the till constantly ticking over. Profits for the day exceeding $900! A great effort! Many thanks to the loyal BBQ crew on hand once again to flip the snags and represent the Beavers club!
