The comeback is on!

As the fight against Covid19 continues and the nation steps slowly towards a new normal, a return to the domestic basketball also begins to look a little closer.

Here at Team Red, we are hoping for a return to competition sooner rather than later! The Bendigo Basketball Association is working hard behind the scenes and while isolation is an opportunity to brush up on skills, we’re all yearning for some 5 v 5 hardwood action!

Teams for the Winter season were entered before the lockdown began. So now is a good time to check in with players and coaches to make sure everyone is safe, well and looking to return when the season commences.

We understand the hardship and difficulties (financial and otherwise) faced by many over the last 6-8 weeks, so please touch base and if you have any concerns about coming back, please also let us know. You can email Peter Allan here or call 0419 394 783

Look forward to seeing all teams back on court SOON!

Trickshot Challenge

Here’s something that may keep the boredom at bay for a few hours!

Given we can’t get on court for the foreseeable future, let’s have a backyard ‘trickshot’ challenge online! Film your best low ring dunk, outrageous bank shot or behind the backboard buzzer beater and post it on our facebook group page or tag it on instagram using #teamredtrickshotchallenge !

Use your imagination! Extra points given for weird and wonderful props and post shot celebrations. (Please be safe – ER doesn’t need additional patients at the moment)

Bonus points to comments from participants that are encouraging and supportive – in these times, we don’t need any negativity!

The rules… well, I’ll work that out as we go along. If you need any further information or have an idea to add elements of difficulty email me here!

Let’s go Team Red!

Summer Season Finals

Due to the Covid 19 pandemic and subsequent suspension of the summer domestic season, the BBA have made the below decision regarding finals.

If your team played in the 2nd semi-final on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and won that game, then that team will be recognised as the top team in that Division.

If your team was defeated in the 2nd semi-final your team will be recognised as the Runners up in their Division.

For the teams that played on Fridays, who did not get to play any finals, The BBA decision is that the team that was on top of the ladder in their division will be declared as winning the division and the team in 2nd place on the ladder will be the Runners up.

All trophies have been given to the clubs to distribute. Please contact Peter Allan 0419 394 783 / 5443 9370 to arrange collection.

Summer season around the corner!

The Bendigo Basketball Association Winter domestic season is heading into finals. Good luck to all teams competing – especially those in red! Keep up to date with the finals fixtures here and get along to show your support.

As one season ends, another is about to begin, the 2019/20 Summer Season entries are now open. Time for Team Red to assemble! Join us on Wednesday August 28 from 7pm in the Bendigo Stadium Green Room to begin working through team entries for the new season.

The change from Winter to Summer season means a shift in age groups. As such, some teams may be looking for additional players and some players may also be looking for a new team! If you or your child falls into either category, come along so you don’t miss out!

Go Beavers!
