Welcome to Runcorn Rockets 2025

Season Two!

Our Club

We’re a not-for-profit club run entirely by volunteers. All the money we collect goes towards supporting your children's basketball activities. Below is key information for all Rockets members.

All communication will be via your team’s WhatsApp Group.

Bring a water bottle and a basketball to every training session.

Games

Games begin Friday 18th July & Saturday 19th July 2025.

Game times and venues available via:

• Basketball Connect App - download from the App Store or Google Play)

Login to app, search for ‘Runcorn Rockets’ and team code Eg. RRB1201

• Basketball Connect Fixtures

Grading Games

The first three weeks are Grading Games which do not affect the ladder positions. These games allow for necessary adjustments to players and teams before the official competition begins.

Please note changes to team allocations may occur during this period.

Score Bench Duty

Each team must provide a parent/guardian/sibling to help score each week. If no scorer is provided, penalties may apply. Team Managers will create a roster ensuring each family shares the score bench duty. It's easy and fun, and assistance will be available for those who need it. If necessary, the Rockets can arrange someone to score for approximately $10 per game.

Volunteers

Coaches

All of our amazing coaches are volunteers. Please introduce yourself to them!

Some teams may need an Assistant Coach, so if you're interested, please let us know.

Managers

Every team needs a Manager to ensure singlets are handed out and collected, the score bench is set up, player names are entered into the iPad, and to support the coach with team communication. If your team doesn’t have a Manager, we’d love you to help!

We also need help with fundraising and sponsorship opportunities so please contact us at info@rocketsbasketball.com.au to get involved.
