President's Note

Congratulations to all the Blazers Grand Final contestants and winners! It is always exciting to end the season with a big game. I hope everyone had fun playing or supporting - I'll bring you the stats once I get them!

Team lists for Winter season 2014 will be sent out to families shortly. The Balwyn Blazers is one of the most flexible clubs in the EDJBA when it comes to accommodating players' training & game time availabilities, friendship and other requests. The task of keeping 100 teams' best interest in mind when coordinating a new season is not easy, and I wish to thank our Operations and Age Group Coordinators for working really hard to take all competing factors into account and getting teams on the court.

Whilst we do try our best, it is nearly impossible to accommdate everybody's wishes. If you have a legitimate query about the teams, please email your Age Group Coordinator. Thanks in advance for your understanding.

Coaches needed

We are still some 20 coaches short for Winter season. An email last week from our vice-president Paul detailed out how you can help. I encourage everyone to think about coaching - it really is the lifeblood of our club and a great way to contribute and become an active member of the Blazers. Please email Carolyn: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you are interested or have any questions at all.

Winter season logistics

The first game of the Winter 2014 season is Saturday 3rd May. Training will commence after Easter on Tuesday 22nd April.

Have a well-earned holiday break, travel safe and keep those basketballs bouncing... GO BLAZERS!
