Hoop Time Basketball Tournament

Calling All Basketballers!

We are excited to announce that Fairfield Primary will again be entering FPS teams into this year’s Hoop Time tournament. Hoop Time is a primary school aged basketball tournament run by Basketball Victoria, which brings together school kids from across Victoria for single-day round robin tournaments held at local basketball stadiums.

Teams are made up of Year 3 and 4 (Junior Level) and Year 5 and 6 (Senior Level) with both girls’ and boys’ teams.  Basketball Victoria has changed the divisions slightly this year so that there will be an All Stars division, for those students who play representative basketball or a high-level domestic grade, as well as a Future Stars division for all other students. Any student who plays rep basketball must play in the All Stars team.

For this reason, we will select an All Stars team of eight players in each Junior/Senior Level and Girls/Boys made up of any rep players and any high grade domestic players who wish to be considered for this team. All Future Stars teams will be randomly selected.

Dates of the tournaments are to be confirmed but will likely be in September in the last two weeks of term 3.

Please note that this tournament is for students who currently play in a basketball team. If your child is interested in participating, please email Millie Lacey (milliejroberts@gmail.com)  with the following details by no later than Friday 24 May.

• Student name
• Grade at FPS
• If your child plays representative basketball.
• If your child would like to be considered for the All Stars team and if so, most recent basketball team and grade.

We will require parents to assist with coaching / scoring on the day and the cost will be approximately $30 per student (for the buses) but will be confirmed once we have an idea of numbers.
