Diocesan Cross Country
Last Friday 17th May, 42 very enthusiastic students jumped on a bus headed to Barraba for Diocesan Cross Country. The weather was perfect with the atmosphere to match. All students were encouraging each other and cheering everyone on at the finish line. Mrs Gippel and Mrs Clarke were very proud of the students participation and sportsmanship. A special mention to Aria Sutherland and Jimmy Press for coming first in their races and Matty Press for placing 6th, which earned all of them a spot in the Diocesan Cross Country Teams.

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.
