Hi Gator’s family,
We hope you have had a good weekend.
We were very fortunate to have Physios from Hobson’s Bay Physiotherapy for coming down today to help out. We are very excited to have them on board for the 2023/2024 season.
Practice Games – Friday Night:
This Friday night we will be playing Practice Games against Whittlesea. The fixture can be found Here
The majority of boys teams will be playing at Mill Park Stadium, Red Leap Road, Mill Park and the girls will be at Altona Sports Centre.
If your team is not listed on either schedule, then you do not have a game this week.
For anyone who does not have a Gators Uniform as yet, please wear black shorts and your loan singlet. If you are yet to receive a loan singlet, please email [email protected]
A reminder that while Practice matches provide a great opportunity for teams to get to know each other prior to grading. However, these games may not necessarily be against teams likely to be in a similar pool in grading, therefore there may be some unbalanced encounters. If this happens to your team, please do not stress and see the game as an a good learning opportunity.
The teams who do not have a game, it is due to the opponent not having an equivalent number of teams to us. Do not worry, there is plenty of basketball to be played and you will be on the court soon.
Midweek Training:
The schedule for mid-week training next week has been finalised and can be accessed Here
There are a few small changes since it was last sent out.
Uniforms:
Each Age Group has been allocated a time to undertake their playing uniform fitting. The uniform fittings will occur near between Court 7 & 8 and Courts 9 & 10. We request you be patient during the fitting. Once you are fitted, you can order your uniform through the online store which is now live. Alternatively, you can use the size guides on the online shop.

Custom Uniform orders such as Playing Singlets, Shorts and Warmup Tops are custom made and collated at the end of the countdown timer so that batches can be manufactured together.
