Heartland Tournament
Over the October long weekend (29th-30th October), Knox Basketball, along with Kilsyth and Frankston Basketball Associations, will be hosting a domestic tournament, called the Heartland Tournament. Further information is available here: https://www.knoxbasketball.com.au/news-detailed/heartland-tournament-2022-announced-registration-open
All Wasps players are invited to play in the tournament. There is an option to create your own team (made up of only existing Wasps players) or enter as an individual and we will place you in a team. Individual player registration is $50, with no team registration fee. This is an exciting opportunity for players who haven’t experienced a tournament before! Games will be played at stadiums across south east Melbourne.
All team registrations will be managed by Wasps. To help us with this process, please complete this expression of interest form: https://forms.gle/hybkM5Vnq29wEUuY7
We will provide further information on completing registration following expressions of interest. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions.
Callout for Committee Volunteers!
We are looking for volunteers to come on board the Wasps committee! Volunteers are essential to the running of the club and making sure our players can get out on the court every week. If you are interested in joining the committee, or volunteering in any other capacity (selection, Little Stingers, coaching), please get in touch with Lauren to discuss what is involved ([email protected]).
We are also still looking for someone to take over the running of Little Stingers from Mark Hayes. Our Little Stingers program is vital to the growth and development of our club. While Mark has always been involved as part of the committee, we also welcome anyone who is interested in running the Little Stingers sessions each week but does not want to be involved at committee level.
Boys and girls coaches will be needed for next season. Please get in contact with Ros Aumann (boys) or Matt Brennan (girls) if you are interested in coaching. If you are new to coaching we will be able to support you!
Game Day Reminders
Please remember to advise your coach or team manager if you are unable to play or attend training as soon as possible. Coaches will often need to request fill-in players so giving as much notice as possible really helps the coach and coordinators.
Make sure to arrive to games 10-15 minutes early. Only white socks are to be worn with Wasps uniform. Chewing gum is not permitted while playing or training.
Drink bottles should be left on the players bench with the coach, not with parents. Only coaches, players, and team managers should sit on the bench. Parents need to sit further down or on the other side of the court if there is seating there.
All members (players, parents, coaches) need to refrain from commenting on the referees and calls in the game. Remember this is a game!
