Diocesan Cross Country
Good luck to our students who are travelling to Barraba tomorrow to compete at the Diocesan Cross Country trials. If the students place in the top six they will be selected in the Diocesan Team to represent the Armidale Diocese at the NSWCPS Cross Country in Eastern Creek on Wednesday 5th June, 2024. The bus is hoping to be back before 3.00pm. If it will be later, a message will go out on Compass.

Please read through some housekeeping for the current basketball season
1. Tamworth Sports Dome
Our wonderful facility is operated by the Tamworth Regional Council and Tamworth Basketball share this facility with other businesses and their clients. It is important that we do not have children running through the foyer area and playing on the stairs that lead up to Rural Fit. This is for the safety of the children, as well as the other users of the Sports Dome. We have also had some instances of young children being seen to be running around the car park area unsupervised. As you can appreciate, this is a major safety concern, and we ask all parents supervise their children whilst attending the Sports Dome.
2. Spectators
Tamworth Basketball and Tamworth Region Council provide seating for spectators to use whilst watching the games. We appreciate that at times this seating can be limited when we have an increased amount of spectators watching games but we ask that spectators do not sit on the Players/Coaches benches that are situated on either side of the score bench. These benches are specifically for the players and coaches, and we need to ensure that players and coaches have an adequate area to use during their game. We are in the process of acquiring additional seating.
Spectators are also reminded not to stand or sit directly behind the baskets at either end of the court. This is for the safety of all players, referees, court supervisors and spectators. If you are asked to move along by one of Court Supervisors, please do so as we would not like to see anyone become injured from standing or sitting in this area.
3. 2024 Competition Rules and Information
We have attached a copy of the 2024 Junior Competition Rules and Information. Please read them as it outlines information relating to scoring, players, fees and other matters that help us to operate our local competitions.
