No Limits Basketball Camps

Many holiday sports camps are basically fun and games with little skill development. No Limits Basketball Camps aim to be different. Run by Dragons Big V player and coach Peter Maunder who has internationally recognized coaching qualifications, No Limits aim to provide serious skill development for players who want to improve their basketball. No Limits are running a wide range of camps including junior and female only camps at a variety of venues. To register and find more information please click here

Fill-In Players

There are occasions when unavoidably, you may be short of players. In the image below is some information on who is able to fill-in for your team. If in doubt please contact the age-group coordinator, Oliver Goode, or Carolyn Morkham and we will be able to guide you. If the player is not and has not played for another EDJBA team(eg from HBA/MEBA/Playball) they can fill-in as long as they are in the correct age group.

ELECTRONIC SCORING

The EDJBA has introduced LAPTOP scoring to every venue this season, replacing the current paper scoresheet. If you did not attend one of our training sessions, please click on the link below for a demonstration. It is each team's responsibility to provide scorers, and therefore all must eventually learn how to do this.

Our Values at Balwyn Blazers

At Blazers, we are committed to our TREDS values across all members of the Club - Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Development and Sportsmanship. We encourage all players, parents & spectators to embrace these values. I'm really proud of our Club - thanks for being a part of it.

Refereeing - Did you know that referees at Balwyn home courts now fall under our Club's duty of care?

They now CHOOSE to ref at Balwyn, where previously they were allocated here. I know from personal experience as a coach that it is sometimes frustrating when you don't see things the way referees do... please just be mindful that they are also human and deserve respect, just like we all do. I want us to have the best refereeing culture in the EDJBA and that can only happen with the support of everyone in the Club. I will also encourage our refs to be open in dialogue with coaches. Let's make sure we give our refs a pat on the back, even after a hotly contested game that you felt a little hard done by!

Don't forget to visit our coaches section including information about our Facebook coach resource page. Please have a look by clicking here or on the coaches tab above located in the menu bar.

"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out." John Wooden, legend basketball coach
