Grade 3- 6 Hoop Time

Last Term we had 45 of our Grade 5 and 6 students competed in the division Hoop Time basketball competition at Cardinia Life Stadium last Term. We sent 4 rookies teams and two future stars teams to play round robin style games of basketball against other local primary schools. All of our teams were successful with a few wins on the board and an enjoyable day out.

Also in September, we sent 6 teams of Grade 3&4 basketballers to the Cardinia Hoop Time competition. 45 students along with 12 fantastic secondary coaches attended the day. And, what a day it was!! 

Hoop Time is a great opportunity for students of all ability levels to give basketball a go- with all star, future star and rookie divisions suited to ability level.

All of our four rookies teams had a rewarding day out recordings wins and losses, but most importantly, gaining a whole new range of basketball skills and basketball competition experience.

After a series of epic games all day, it came down to the very last game of the day for our Future Stars boys- who won all their games and drew their last. Narrowly missing the semi-finals on a points percentage, being outted by the team we drew with, who eventually won the overall championship.

Our Future Stars Girls, a team of strong competitors, gave it their all to secure a spot in the semi finals. In the end, going down by a small margin of points in the end.

Congratulations to all our Lakeside competitors for a great day out and a huge thank you to our secondary helpers, who did a great job coaching and mentoring their younger peers.

Kind Regards,
