A Slam Dunk for Basketball Competition

Cooma Monaro Express 23/12/14
The Junior mixed basketball finished on Monday with a round of three on three non mixed basketball.
This gave the boys the chance to show their attacking skills in the key area which they cannot do in the mixed.
The games produced some strong basketball with those pitted against each other trying to prove who were the best.
All games were played in good spirit Junior basketball Mini and Aussie Hoop basketball has been a huge success in 2014 with an increase in numbers across all divisions.
All players are to be commended on their sportsmanship and the way students from the different schools came together to play in teams with people they may not have known prior to the beginning of the season.
The increased enthusiasm of the players resulted in the mixed competition being played for the first time.
Junior basketball usually finishes at the end of third term and returns the following year in second term but 2015 will see it return in first term with another mixed competition before reverting back to boys and girls competitions for terms two and three. Organisers hope to begin a second mixed competition as well which would include our miniball players.
Thank you to the players and to those parents/friends who put their hands up to help coach referee and to run the days for making it such a great year. Organisers look forward to seeing everyone in 2015.
