Winter season!

The weather has turned… which in the world of Bendigo Domestic Basketball, means a few things.

Firstly, the winter season grading meetings are on the horizon and we’ll soon be into the season proper. For those seasoned campaigners amongst us, switching from the paper score sheets used during grading to the laptops and stadium scoring presents no problems. However, if you struggle with technology or are not familiar with the ins and outs of stadium scoring, click here to find out all about it! (scroll to the bottom of the page)

The second school term is also when we collect our annual club fees, used mostly to pay for training court hire and keep Team Red in the black! The $1 extra each week paid on game day certainly helps offset this cost, however the additional annual fee is required to make up the difference and also pay for ongoing club operating expenses. If they haven’t already, your team manager or coach will be arranging the collection of club fees in the coming weeks.

And finally, well done to our Beavers under 12’s, who recently had the opportunity to run out with the NBL1 Bendigo Braves! The boys also enjoyed courtside seating for the game. Awesome effort!

Go Team Red!

Club meeting

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.
