Lots going on at Rockets

Hi All, so many things happening this week.


Not sure if you as a spector have noticed the games being longer. I have seen a lot of children really feeling the extra time on the court great to see them running hard. I do thank everyone for being prompt in leaving the stadium after your game, this is making a difference.


We continually look for the best way to support our players and coaches, last term with our U12 boys we got in an external coach to help the teams at training and games & this term we are looking to get our sponsored NBL1 players to come and help our coaches and spend time with our players.


More good news, the 3 x 3 competition is all organised and it will be on the first Saturday of the June school holidays &should be very exciting. Teams from the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Ipswich play in these competitions which makes it competitive and a great learning for the kids. Please see your coach or get a team together and Rockets will help in supplying the singlets. Lots of age groups starting at U10 so everyone should be able to get a game, even a lot of our U8 boys and girls could play in the U10 on 3 x 3 day.

I am continually amazed of the work that gets achieved and this only occurs because of the collaborative efforts of our parents, coaches and age coordinators. While we always work hard, some things are out of our control & we have had some unique challenges with Public holidays & availabilities of courts at several venues not being available last week. Everyone rallied and it all worked out so I thank everyone for that. on a personal note I did train outdoors last week & I enjoyed the change so don't be concerned about trying something different it is a can be a great experience.


We will shortly be asking parents if their child would like to play at the NBL1 game during half time. If you miss out on a game this time we are doing this again later on in the season so we if you miss out we will get you a game at the next Rockets game which is a little later in the season but still come to the game. I will chase up the registration process & hopefully get it this week. Remember all children wearing Rockets gear do not pay to come in & the club will be giving thoes children hot chips.


I still get families asking me about things that are in these newsletters. I try to give you lots of information about what is happening so if you know anyone that does not get the newsletter, please get them to contact us. There is a record of all our information that goes out, if you want to see old newsletter if you go to our web site under the heading of “Notices” where there is a record of all our emails that go out.


The training for this Monday the Public holiday for U8/10 is for 2 hours, 3.30pm – 5.30pm, all other Monday training is as per normal.


I hope all our new members are settling in very well. If there is something that we have missed or you are not certain of, please contact us. You can respond to this email or talk to your coach or your age coordinator.


We did get our 500th member for the season over the weekend so that was a little special for us and a huge thank you to all coaches, managers, age Coordinators and especially to the extremely hard working committee of Mike, Janette, Eric, Kelly, Kristina and Ju Li.





Thanks and have a great week


From the courts
