Thank you for all involved in the basketball clinics held at the end of last term. We are now ready to make final selections for Hooptime this Friday for the Year 5/6 students.
Children from this session will be selected for the team in the upcoming tournament. If your child cannot make the training session, an email must be sent to me prior to the tryouts with the reason why your child can’t attend.
Children trying out must also wear basketball shoes and can change into sports gear at recess. The 5/6 teams will be announced once finalised.
