AIC Basketball
COORDINATOR
After a big two weeks, we have come to the end of our trial period for AIC Basketball 2020.
The response has been tremendous and all year levels will have very healthy numbers of players to choose from when the first trial is played next term.
All players who have been listed on the sports noticeboard in a training squad or trial team will be required to attend a trial match on Saturday 11 July which is the last Saturday of the upcoming school holidays. For the trial games held at the end of the holiday period, important COVID-19 guidelines will need to be followed in terms of game day practices by students, parents and coaching staff. More information regarding draws, specific information for the trial on Saturday July 11th will be published via the College app next week.
We look forward to an action-packed four weeks of AIC Basketball to start Term 3 off when we return.
A reminder that we are looking for parents who are willing to help score for their son’s match on one of the four fixtures. If the current restrictions remain in place, it may be the best way to watch your son playing basketball this year?
