24.01.2022 Due to restrictions, we’ve been waiting for this photo to arrive in order to make this fabulous announcement. At our recent AGM, Trevor Angwin was nominated for and awarded Life Membership of the Foster Basketball Association. Trev has been involved with the FBA for 50 years he reckons!! Certainly he has been a player, ref, coach, scorer, committee member and very active volunteer, not to mention is always court side for his daughters and grandchildren as their biggest supp...orters. Trev is a great role model and awesome person to be around too! Congratulations, you wholeheartedly deserve this recognition Trev and we can’t wait to make more of a fuss at our next grand final, whenever that will be.

16.01.2022 Courtesy Basketball VIC...a Q and A for your enjoyment. Jack White, from playing basketball in Gippsland (Traralgon) to Duke Captain, is set to take the court for Melbourne United in 2020/2021 NBL season. Jack sat down to give us an insight into the life of an elite basketballer in the current climate and give locals some tips on where and how to stay basketball ready in lockdown. Keep an eye out for Jack’s at home challenge which we will post shortly.

15.01.2022 Just to keep our tribe up to date, this, just in from Basketball Victoria... 'Return to Basketball and Current Restrictions While we are heading in the right direction with COVID-19 case numbers and are pleased to see the further easing of restrictions for regional Victoria, unfortunately, indoor sport is still located within the Governments last step. We continue to discuss with Sport and Recreation Victoria and advocate for a clearer path for basketball to return as soon as... possible, when safe to do so'. We will endeavour to keep you up to date...in the meantime, the kids can train outdoors effective 17th September so see if you can find a hoop outdoors, keep the shooting practice up.

11.01.2022 Lock this date in your diary. Our AGM is coming up and we’d love you to join our committee. Have a say in the way we move forward, hopefully, post Covid 19. ... Our AGM will run via zoom, the link will be posted closer to the day and emailed to all on our data base. We do have a couple of positions opening up so now is the time to jump on. If you want to know anything about how the committee runs and what it involves, please email [email protected]

11.01.2022 We hope this post finds our basketball families keeping well and staying fit. Following on from our AGM last weekend, we would like to sincerely thank Emmah Welsh for her time and dedication to the role of President over the past year. Due to personal circumstances, Emmah sadly advised that she has had to step away from the Position and the Committee effectively immediately. This means, currently, we are without a President. We are seeking expressions of interest either for a...n Interim or Permanent President. If we are not successful, we will find our association in recess until this situation is rectified...we really don't want that to happen as there are so many exciting things on the horizon, not the least is a new stadium! If this is something you are interested in or know of someone we should tap on the shoulder, please contact us [email protected] for any information or to organise a chat. Lets not lose basketball in Corner Inlet
