COVID-19 BLAZERS UPDATE
- Training suspended
- Grand Finals under Review
- Winter Season Team Announcements Delayed
Good Evening Members of the Blazers Community,
As you would be aware on Friday the EDJBA, acting upon the advice of Basketball Victoria (BV), took the step of cancelling the weekends finals matches in response to the current Corona Virus situation. The cancellation advice from BV relates to all basketball related programs, and as such training will be cancelled this week. The continuation of the Summer season will be advised by the EDJBA during the course of this week. The EDJBA will take advice from BV who are in contact with the Victoria Government. As soon as this information is available it will be made public.
As we near the end of the school term we would normally be looking to announce teams for the new season. Depending on the developments with the virus in the coming weeks, it is a prospect that we will have a delayed start to the season. Because of this we have decided that the release of teams will be withheld until such time as Winter season status is announced by the EDJBA so that we can understand if this has any impact on the competition format for the new season.
While we work through these issues, I would ask that you reframe from contacting the club seeking updates. Our resources are already stretched managing the situation, and people contacting the club is only adding to this situation. We are announcing information as soon as it is practical to do so, so please be patient and rest assured that the club’s primary concern is the safety and well-being of our players, coaches, officials and their families and this underpins any actions that we take.

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 |
