🏀 Playing Top Reminder 🏀

If your player isn’t continuing into the Summer season, or needs to change to a different size playing top, please return their current top ASAP after their last game.

There is a blue bin near the stadium entrance for returning tops.

If you can’t find the bin, GRISS staff will generally know where it is.

Thanks everyone! 💙🩶

🏀 IMPORTANT - AGE GROUP CHANGES

Summer competition involves age group changes, so players may be placed in a different age group next season.

You are welcome to request that players stay together, however we cannot guarantee this will be possible. Teams will be formed with the aim of ensuring they are balanced and fair for all players.

💙 A big welcome to our new families!

If you have already completed an Expression of Interest (EOI) for the Summer season, you do NOT need to complete the registration form above.

Please keep an eye on your inbox for a separate email from SMB with instructions on how to finalise your Summer registration and payment through PlayHQ.

🙋 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

SMB is proudly run by volunteers, and we need more people to help us take the club into the future.

We are currently looking for Age Group Coordinators and Committee members.

Could you be part of the team? No Committee - No Club.

We’re looking forward to another fantastic season of basketball and welcoming both our returning and new families to SMB! 🏀💙

From the 2026/27 Summer Season, TABA will introduce a Player Points System for A Grade junior domestic competitions.

The system will allocate players a point value based on their representative experience, with each team having a maximum number of points available when forming a team.

This change is designed to simplify the current rules, provide greater clarity and support the continued growth of our Junior Representative Program.

We encourage all coaches, team managers, clubs and parents to read the information sheet before entering teams for the upcoming Summer Season.

🏀 Looking Ahead to Summer Basketball 🏀

As we head into the final half of the winter season, St Michael's Basketball Club is already planning ahead for the Summer Season, expected to commence in October.

To help us gauge interest and prepare for team numbers, we're inviting families to submit an early Expression of Interest for children who may be interested in playing next season.

We're particularly keen to hear from families with children born in 2018 or 2019, including those who:
🏀 Are currently playing U8 basketball
🏀 Have participated in Aussie Hoops
🏀 Are looking to try basketball for the first time
🏀 Have recently moved to the area
🏀 Simply love being active and part of a team

At St Michael's Basketball Club, we pride ourselves on providing a welcoming, supportive and family-friendly environment where players can develop skills, build confidence, make friendships and enjoy the game of basketball.

No previous basketball experience is required.

If you think your child may be interested in joining us for the Summer Season, we'd love to hear from you:

Submitting an Expression of Interest does not commit you to playing - it simply helps us plan ahead and keep interested families informed as the season approaches.

Please feel free to share this post with family and friends who may be interested.

💙 SMB

Also wishing good luck to all the kids who have recently been at try outs for Representative basketball 🤞🏻🏀

We hope everyone has enjoyed the winter break and that all the kids are looking forward to getting back on the courts from next week, for the rest of the Winter season. Let’s go SMB!! 💪🏻🏀
