Local basketball developments

The local basketball scene seems to be hotting up and we've been asked to let our local ballers know of two new developments.

Year 11-13 league

Next term the Leisure Centre is starting a Year 11-13 local basketball league on a Wednesday night. Why not pull a team together? You can either enter a team 'direct' with the Leisure Centre OR use Sport Gulf Harbour to help you pull a team together by co-ordinating. 

Email me if you're interested in the latter and we'll make sure we've got enough larger uniforms for you guys/gals. Maybe we'll see the return of some of your older members?

Coast Basketball - FREE Sunday skills training (aged 10 plus)

Our local rep team, Coast Basketball, has organised a magic opportunity for any young players (aged 10 plus) who want to get some additional coaching. Coach Bruce (Boyce) of Evolution Basketball will be holding FREE skills training EVERY Sunday, 3pm at Orewa College gym.

Get down there, up your skills and have some fun with other local ballers who share your love of the game. (If you are interested in trialling later in the year it's a great opportunity to improve yourself and get your face known.)

Help us spread the word..

Term 1 results

Wow - what a great Term 1 we had. SGH was represented in the final at every age group  and we walked away with 3 x 1st; 3 x 2nd and lots of great experiences.

Here are the teams that secured a 1st Place:

SGH Swish (Y1-2)

 SGH Titans  (Y3-4 s.2)

 SGH Matrix (9-11 s.1)

But whether you made your finals or not one thing remains true. You were ALL terrific representatives for Sport Gulf Harbour - thank you for making us proud.

Ready for Term 2?

We hope so because team lists have just been emailed and we're looking forward to getting started.
Note: There are still spaces free in each of the following age group teams:

• Y1-2 (need another 3 or 4 to start a new team)
• Y5-6
• Y7-8
• Y9 +

so if you have friends who want to get involved, ask them to get in touch urgently.
