Camberwell Dragons  Development Squad

Camberwell Dragons, Blazers affiliated representative glub are again running their successful term 3 development squad. This year, respected No Limits Basketball high performance coach Pete Maunder is heading up the program.

Camberwell field teams in the statewide VJBL competition and regularly have teams in the top Championship and Metro grades. They also have senior and youth league teams in Division 1 Big V . Many Blazers players currently playing for Dragons. Like Blazers the Dragons are based locally at Balwyn High School and other local venues.

This squad is designed for players born in 2008-2010 who want to learn more skills, and potentially to investigate playing at representative level. There may also be limited places for players born in 2007 and 2011 so please enquire. Drills and skills are run by current Dragons coaches and players

This is a great opportunity to participate in this fun event, get some basketball practice in , and get a feel for what representative basketball might entail.

 Players do not have to come from Blazers or one of the other clubs mentioned so please pass this onto domestic teammates and school friends.

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!
