This year the Devonport Primary School Basketball Tournament will be held from Friday 5th - Sunday 7th July. The age groups for this competition are 1/2, 3/4 and 5/6 for girls and boys. Games may be rostered on Friday night (5th July) through to the finals on Sunday afternoon (7th July) *Please note this is the beginning of the Term 2 school holidays. Games may be played in Devonport, East Devonport and Ulverstone over this weekend.
The team registration cost will be covered by the school and if your child is not currently registered with Basketball Tasmania there will be a cost of $10.00 per child. (link for payment to follow on confirmation of teams). There will be no cost for players or spectators for entry to the tournament.
Our participation in this tournament will rely on parent commitment as parents will be required to coach, manage, complete bench and canteen duty over the weekend. Each team will be required to nominate a coach, manager, and referee to register a team. All coaches and managers will need to hold a Working with Vulnerable People registration.
A parent roster for bench duty (two volunteers for each game) will be organised for participating teams and you will be rostered on with someone that has had previous experience in completing this duty. Once coaches and team managers are nominated, trainings for this tournament can be arranged.
If your child is interested in playing and you can support this commitment, please complete the registration form below by Monday, 3rd June. No late registrations will be accepted.
