THIS WEEKS WEATHER FORECAST
This week's weather forecast is predicting rain. If the weather does not allow for players to line up outside, we ask the following (however, I will send out updates as needed):

     Friday: Please ensure that players, along with their 1 x spectator, arrive no earlier than 5 Minutes before their game. Any players who do not need to show ID and arrive any earlier than 5 minutes will be asked to go and wait in their car. Players will be directed to their court, however, will not be able to go to the benches until cleaning has concluded.
Due to there being no undercover section available for teams to line up on a Friday, we ask that teams please be mindful to leave the stadium as soon as their game concludes, to assist staff with a smooth transition.
    Saturday: Players are able to arrive 10 minutes before their game with there 1 x spectator, and will be lined up on Courts 1 & 2 until directed to their courts by supervisors.
In order to avoid crowding at the entrance, we ask that all spectators send the message prior to arriving at the stadium. It must be done on the day of competition, and both messages (sent and received) will need to be on the screen ready to show the BSO Officer.
      As per last week. We ask that all players are dressed in their playing gear and ready to take the court.
We ask that you please be mindful in terms of your well-being. If you feel un-well or have been in contact with a COVID-19 case or to any of the noted hotspot locations, please do not attend our stadium.
Please continue to monitor NSW Health for updated on confirmed case locations - https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/latest-news-and-updates#latest-covid-19-case-locations-in-nsw

Once again, I would like to Re-enforce that all other guidelines are still in place. However, I would like to highlight some important areas that are being neglected in some instances.
1 /       Entrance to the stadium will be via the front door. Please ensure that all players respect this requirement and do not enter via the exit doors. There will be a supervisor situated at the exit door, as per council guidelines, anyone caught entering the stadium through the exit door will be evicted from the stadium for the night. They will not be able to play or spectate if they enter through any door other than the entry door (main entrance).
2/       At the conclusion of the games, players, coaches and spectators will be asked to leave the venue.

We are restricted to the amount of people we can have in the venue at any one time NO ADDITIONAL SPECTAORS WILL BE PERMITTED, THIS INCLUDES SIBLINGS
4/         2 persons ONLY on the score bench at all times [social distancing]. Please ensure that there are no additional members on the Scorebench or beside the Scorebench. As per Basketball NSW guidelines, it is not compulsory, however, recommended that those members doing Scorebench wear a mask.
5/         Team benches are allocated for players and 1 x coach only. All other members associated with the team, will need to be seated on the spectator seats provided.
All persons entering the stadium, who are not listed on the scoresheet will be required to register via SMS. Please note the SMS must be sent on the day. If your child plays on Friday and Saturday, you will be required to register via SMS on both days.

   Good Afternoon, Firstly, I hope you are all well and safe.
I am touching base with all clubs regarding the Junior Competition. Given the current restrictions and the release of the 3 Step Framework, it has become clear that our competitions will not be able to safely operate on the date that we had hoped.
    As we have all become aware, the guidelines outlined by the NSW Government are not set in stone and may change at any time.
We believe at this time that it is best to post-pone all competitions indefinitely. To date no clear timeline has been given for our sport to return in any form including training. We are hesitant to give another start date at this time as things may come back sooner than what has been predicted or be pushed back even further. We will continue to follow the restrictions closely and once we have a clear start date will let you know with plenty of time to nominate/re-nominate teams, add players and do the admin work required for your club (it is not something we will spring on you a week out).
    We have had many discussions in this office and with the match committee regarding what is to be done with the 2019/20 Summer Comp which was meant to conclude early April. Under the current circumstances of COVID-19, and with the restrictions continuing over the next few months, we decided to disband the Summer 2019/20 competition and start afresh with a new competition once restrictions are eased and we have a clearer idea of how we can proceed.
    I will reach out as soon as things become clear.
Many thanks,
Christine Rosina

The Red Stars junior teams on Friday night in Bankstown Basketball Summer 2019/2020 Competation!

The Bankstown Basketball Match Committee have decided that there will be no Semi Finals for the Summer 19/20 season and that the games played will be Grand Finals only. This means that based on the Semi Final working, only positions 1 and 2 for each division will play the Grand Finals

Due to all Red Stars junior teams having a good summer season ,unfortunately only one team didn't make it to the finals,that's the boys team U/16 who finished third.All other 8 teams were 1st or 2nd position before the games got postponed due to Covid-19 corona virus!

We are still hoping to be able to finalise the Summer 2019/2020 season in term 2 !
