BASKETBALL SOUTH WEST
AUSSIE HOOPS
This year saw a significant step forward for Aussie Hoops in the Region, with PCYC and Capel joining as a centres. Both centres saw a great number of hoopsters joining the program, which led to a great success and enjoyment. Other Aussie Hoops Centres in the region continued to grow and support the development of players and coaches. SW currently has Aussie Hoops Centres in Capel, Harvey, PCYC, Bunbury (Aces Basketball Club), Nannup and Manjimup and Donnybrook all the way to the Grand Final. Dongara had three of their five teams represent at Country Champs and all of them played super hard!
A special thanks to our Midwest referee’s that made the effort to go down and umpire in Perth during State Champs and Country Champs. Some great young ref’s coming up through the ranks.
Sporting School’s clinics were a huge success in the Midwest with 55 school clinics delivered in a space of four months reaching over 1300 athletes!
Carnamah, Mingenew, Chapman Valley, Allendale, Kalbarri, Perenjori, Northampton and other schools in the Geraldton area all received visits from our Regional Development officer in 2020.
SCHOOLS/
SLAM SERIES/SEDA
Over 60 school clinics were delivered in the second half of 2020 which led up to Slam Series. It was great to see the continued engagement from the local schools. With events held in SW Busselton and Eaton, we captured schools from Australind, all the way to Dunsborough. Both events also allowed SEDA students to put their skills to practice, assist in delivering evets, refereeing and assisting with scoring. Great sportsmanship was on display at both events, and we look forward growing the participation in 2021.
