Biddy Ball 2022

Coach the Coaches Sessions ​

​We are pleased to announce Marymede Flames Basketball Club has gained the services of Shannon Bodley once again for our “Coach the Coaches Sessions". 

These sessions will be held on the 16/3 and 23/3 at the Marymede fitness centre commencing at 6:30pm.

We will have some of our athletes on court to help demonstrate the drills/skills that Shannon will showcase. 

We would like to think that all coaches will make the effort to attend these sessions as the club is putting these on as an investment to your development as a coach and you could return the favour by attending. 

Enjoy the event and feel free to contact us in case of any doubt.

​Go Flames!

Flames AGM 16th December
Happy New Year and I hope everyone had an amazing break/time off with your family and love ones.

Just wanting to give you an update with our club. 
  • We held our AGM on the 16th Dec and most of the current 2021 members were re-elected for 2022.
  • Refer to the below 2022 committee members for your reference. 
  • Thank you to my executive team and committee members for volunteering for another year! Your continued support is greatly appreciated 🙂

  • I am pleased to confirm some new members in our club. Please assist me in welcoming Ash Hammond (director of coaching Girls), Jarrod Taylor (director of coaching Boys) and Paulo De Silva (website coordinator). I would also like to take the opportunity to thank Daniel, Johnny and Sally for their endless support and enormous hours that they have provided to our club. 
  • We still have vacant spots to fill in the age group coordinator role. 

  • Resumption of training and basketball game day. 
  • Just a reminder that training recommence this week WC 31/1. You should have received a message from your TM by now. Should there be last minute changes or cancellations from Marymede Catholic College, we will communicate accordingly.
    First game will be played on Saturday 5th of February 2022. Please check PlayHQ on game time and venue.
  • With ongoing Covid effects to our community, it is likely that game byes (due to players in isolation) and referee shortages will occur and may disrupt your game day. The same will apply to our training facility at Marymede Catholic College. 

  • WCBA & DVBA current restrictions and recommendations 

  • Face Masks -All patrons over the age of 8 who are not actively engaged in an exertive role on court – whether as a player, coach or official, are required to wear a mask at all times indoors (unless they possess a valid medical exemption). 

  • Spectators- Limit spectators as much as possible (one person per player is recommended). Simply put, the more people in a venue, the higher the risk of transmission. If possible, remain in foyer areas outside of the playing courts of a venue until the preceding game has completed and all have left the court area. Once a game has been completed, ideally participants leave the venue as soon as possible to ensure the absolute minimum number of people are within the venue at any one time. 

  • Showing Vaccination -Basketball Victoria can confirm that all participants aged under 18 years will no longer have to show proof of their vaccination status to enter indoor basketball venues within Victoria
  • STAY AT HOME- If you are unwell or have symptoms
Thank you and should you require further information, please feel free to call us.
