The Myths and Legends committee met and has decided in the interest of both members, families and general community the suspension of all training sessions at (Veneto club Bulleen, Friday and Sunday, Royal Talbot Kew Tuesdays) occurs immediately to be reviewed in three week’s time. This decision falls in line with Basketball Victoria and Federal Government intent.
Myths and Legends July Tournament
This is still planned to proceed but is dependent on how events relating to COVID-19 roll out.
Pan Pacific Masters games November 2020
Pan Pacific Masters Games 2020, Gold Coast
The Pan Pacs are very popular, this has resulted in a significant number of basketball teams in 2014, 2016 and 2018 being unable to register. A further complication in 2020 will be the need to register five players at the start when registering a team; this may restrict the Club from registering two teams per age group. We need members to commit early or members may miss out.
