Term 3 Training Schedule (underlined text below is hyperlinked)
The full Term 3 training schedule – including Week 1 and Weeks 2 to 9 – has now been published to Student Cafe and Parent Lounge.
Please note: a revised schedule will apply from Week 2 onwards, with fewer sessions held at the Clem Jones Centre following the completion of trials.
Team lists can be accessed via Parent Lounge and Student Café by Friday mornings. If any changes or cancellations occur, the Villanova College app will be updated accordingly.
A/B Basketball Trials vs Iona College – Tuesday 15 July
The fixture schedule and team lists for the A/B trials on Tuesday 15 July are now live on Parent Lounge and Student Cafe.
Selected Years 7 to Opens A and B Basketball players will travel by bus from Villanova College to Iona College, departing at 3:05pm.
Notes: Years 5 and 6 A and B players will play at Villanova College on the same afternoon. All Years 7 to Opens players must be collected privately from Iona College immediately after their respective matches. There is NO 11B match - these 11B squad members will NOT be required to attend this Iona College trial.
Due to venue constraints and team nomination limits in Trimester 3, some students may not be selected for AIC teams following trials at the end of Week 1. Villanova College will offer an alternative option – the ‘Colours Cup’ internal Basketball competition – for those not selected. Further details will be shared in Week 3 of Term 3.
