25.01.2022 Due to the bad weather this evening and weekend, Basketball ACT has asked that parents, carers and players remain in their cars until 10 minutes before their games. If you are playing at Belconnen on courts 1 and 2, please keep an eye out for signs for your courts, either near the front door or under the shelter of the shops next to the stadium. Please do not go to the dirt carpark area as it's too muddy. Basketball ACT is also reminding everyone that only one parent/carer ...per participating player is allowed in the stadiums at both Belconnen and Tuggeranong, with no additional spectators (or other siblings) allowed. Parents are asked not to leave other children alone in cars while their sibling is playing - this is illegal and is not safe. Wishing all our Dodgers teams a great weekend of basketball!

22.01.2022 The 2020 Winter competition has been running for a month now with games held every night at Belconnen Basketball Stadium... That's a lot of games when you facto...r in Premier Division, Senior Social and Junior games.....so it kind of makes sense that with so much traffic at the stadium, BACT has noticed a corresponding increase of LOST PROPERTY !!!! At the end of every night, MSO's gather anything left behind and either place them in the LOST PROPERTY Box (near the drinking fountain on Court 1), the basketball trolley or the drink bottle crates... As @ Monday 17 August, we have had 47 drink bottles left behind, a whole heap of basketballs, and a raft of clothes...as per BACT policy, any lost property unclaimed by the end of the month, will be disposed of... Please note - Any valuable items found (ie wallets, purses, handbags, phones) or items with names/phone numbers, are held in the BACT office and we will do our best to contact you, and alert you that we have your item... So come and grab your gear, before its ALL gone !!!!!

21.01.2022 DODGERS STATEMENT ON RACISM AND DISCRIMINATION One of the great things about basketball is that it brings people from a wide variety of backgrounds together - this is something to be proud of and to support. We are equally proud of the Dodgers' culture of inclusiveness and respect for all players. We fully support Basketball ACT's commitment to actively work to stamp out racism.

02.01.2022 When it comes to getting a hit of energy at half-time, there's nothing better than fruit....simple, delicious fruit...!! Fruit provides many important vitamins ...and minerals that contribute to good health and performance. And with many junior athletes not consuming enough fruit in their diet, it's a great game-day snack that keeps on giving long after the game... The best part is that your half-time snack can be prepared ahead of time and could include sliced orange, watermelon, apples, bananas or grapes. #healthierchoicescanberra Australian National University Basketball Club Warriors Basketball Club Canberra City Stallions Basketball Club WCW Dodgers Basketball Club Tuggeranong Vikings Basketball Gungahlin Flames Basketball Club Tuggeranong Southern Cross Basketball Club Wests Basketball Club - Canberra Belconnen Ramblers Basketball Club Ginninderra Rats Norths Basketball Club
