23.01.2022 Fixtures are now available on PlayHQ: https://www.playhq.com//poowong-basketball-associ/75f0d27b Junior families, please note that you still need to be aware of when it is your turn to score (found on Facebook or on the stadium notice board but not PlayHQ).

22.01.2022 Brilliant article! Winning Or Losing: How To Handle A Bad Sport You’ve been on the sidelines of the netball court (or soccer pitch, etc) cheering and encouraging. You’ve avoided saying anything about the shoddy refereeing being done by the 15-year-old. You’ve ridden the emotions of your child’s game as they’ve had a go, become bored, let the ball go past, or maybe even scored for the team. And you’ve done it all because you believe organised sport is good for your kids. It...Continue reading

17.01.2022 IMPORTANT COVID-19 UPDATE The Poowong Basketball Association has made the very difficult decision to POSTPONE all activities within our stadium UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. This decision has been made due to the following advice handed to us from Basketball Victoria. We will keep everyone up to date as this situation is regularly changing. ... Please stay safe and follow all advice given out by Health and Government Authorities. Basketball Victoria has made the decision to suspend Basketball Victoria related programs, events and leagues from now March 13, until further notice. This includes ALL VJBL games, Big V games and the Country Championships being held in Ballarat this weekend. Regarding domestic basketball and any skill development programs, we also recommend the suspension of these activities until further notice. As this is a rapidly evolving situation, we would like to thank everyone for their understanding and patience as we work through this difficult period. This is a decision we don’t take lightly and want to reassure the basketball community that we will continue to work with the Victorian Government and other health authorities to ensure the health and wellbeing of our players, coaches, referees and staff are maintained. Further updates will be provided in the coming days and weeks. Regards, Image Nick Honey CEO Basketball Victoria

12.01.2022 Well done to the Under 14 Boys and coach Prue Blackwood on another excellent team effort at the Warragul Junior Tournament. They won 3 games but a draw with Morwell meant they just missed out on getting into the finals due to percentages. Good luck to the other teams in the finals, looking forward to a report back and photos.

10.01.2022 Here are the fixtures for our Senior teams. If you lose this copy, find them online here: ... https://www.playhq.com//senior-domestic-autumn-20/a62fc573

07.01.2022 Can all the Women who still have tops please remember to bring them to tonight’s game. Thank you

06.01.2022 Poowong & District Amateur Basketball Association is pleased to announce that following our AGM we have a fresh committee with lots of great ideas and enthusiasm for the future. We're looking forward to once again being a hub for families, fun and fitness for our community. We're getting the ball rolling with a call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from those willing to coach a tournament team. If you would like the opportunity to coach a tournament team for the remainder of the 20/21 season please send your EOI to [email protected] by Monday 14th December. Further to that, keep an eye out for Autumn 2021 season registrations in the new year and some new opportunities we hope to deliver down the track.

06.01.2022 Yesterday, the Victorian Government made announcements relating to the easing of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this included allowing people to par...ticipate in outdoor activities or train in community sport in groups of up to 10 people (plus a coach / supervisor). Basketball Victoria supports this approach, as it recognises that sport and exercise play a critical role in the physical, mental and emotional wellbeing of Victorians, but importantly this must be balanced with the risk of transmitting coronavirus. While this provides an opportunity for many of us to get back into participating in basketball outside of our home environment, Basketball Victoria wants to emphasise that how we all collectively act in the coming weeks will directly affect the health of our community and our sports ability to return to more regular indoor activity in the near future. We are being provided an opportunity to enjoy a level of sport and exercise outdoors in the short term, but we must not compromise safety, nor the reputation of the sport at this vitally important time. For those wishing to participate outdoors we suggest you refer to Basketball Victoria’s Outdoor Training Guidelines that have been developed in line with government restrictions and the AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport. Should you choose to participate outdoors, have fun, but please do so in a safe and respectful manner. For a full update and guidance on outdoor activity / training - please visit http://basketballvictoria.com.au/covid-19/

05.01.2022 Here are the JUNIOR FIXTURES which include the scoring rosters.

03.01.2022 Expressions of Interest (EOI) are open for participation in the POOWONG PANTHERS 2021/22 tournament season. Representative basketball allows domestic players to take their skills to a higher level and play games against teams from across the Gippsland region and beyond. We aim to have representative tournament teams for male and female age groups 19 years and under (Under 10s, 12s, 14s, 16s, etc).... All our junior players have the opportunity to try-out for the Poowong Panthers Representative teams at the mid-year tryouts. The tournament season runs from October 2021 to April 2022. Please send your EOI to [email protected]
