Club Welcome Letter
Welcome to Wildcats Basketball Club Winter 2018,
After many meetings, we are pleased to announce our winter teams. Whilst we aim is to have competitive teams, sometimes this is difficult when players are new without try out sessions. Our main priority is about the kids having opportunities to play in a competition that allows them to have fun & develop.
While it is often great reward to see kids move up divisions, this can’t always be the case. There are many factors that go into selecting a team and it is not as simple as selecting the ‘best’ players in order. Team balance, with emphasis on ensuring all playing positions can be covered, is an important factor. Sometimes, coaches feel that some kids will benefit long term by going down a division. This will give them the opportunity to work on their game, their confidence & become a leader of the group. It is also great to play with your friends or old teammates, however as a club we feel it is also good for the kids to experience different people & teammates as they would in real life.
We do try & keep our team number at 8 or less each team. However, sometimes this isn’t possible due to the number of kids that register. If your child is part of a team with high numbers, please be patient.
Team lists can be found on our website and Facebook - Wildcats Basketball Club South Geelong
