Pick Up Game – Open Training


Our all new open training session for anyone in our community is now here. Our current senior players are welcome to come along for a training session and anyone who is not currently playing is also most welcome. Depending n numbers the session will include some warm up shots & then a pick up game. So please be sure to bring a dark top & a light top to allow us to pick teams

Mens Pick Up Game Tuesdays 8pm – Lara Lake Primary

Every Tuesday we start with a couple of shots warm up & then we split into teams & go full court & have plenty of fun. The old boys turn back the clock & show the young fellas how it is done, while the young ones have all the sharp moves & fancy step backs. Ends up being a great work out & a heap of fun & laughs. There are no refs, we call our own fouls & all in the right spirit of the game & with lots of laughs & fun had by all. Be sure to bring a dark top & a light top so we can mix up the teams as needed.

Womens Session – ON HOLD THIS TERM

Every Thursday is our open night for the wonderful women in our club & community. You do not have to be a current player to join in the fun, it is open to the mums & any woman who wants to brush up their skills, or put up some shots & give basketball a try before signing up to play womens or mixed (of course no pressure to sign up) Open to all skill levels & girls aged 15 plus welcome to come along & join in the fun. If numbers are good & the group is keen we might play a half court game or something.
