The ISA 2022/2023 Season is fast approaching.

Registration is now closed and team numbers have gone to ISA. We are still awaiting draws and further season information.

Gradings for the higher teams are occurring as per the schedule below. Other teams will be graded based on previous years and performance at training/trials later this term.

A/B Team trials: 

Students hoping to gain selection in a top team (A/B) will need to attend pre-season trials so that we can grade accordingly. Trials take place in the School Gym from 7.00 am with our professional coaches as per the schedule below.

Please note the change for Year 10 this week due to a clash with the Father's Day celebrations in the gym.

Key Season Dates:

• Sat 17 September – Trials v St Aloysius or internal trials
• Oct 6 & 7 – Sydney Schools Shoot-out (1st and 2nd V only)
