Getting ready for 2006

Hi all,
I'm Alvin, the manager of one of the Sutherland Sharks under-12, division 2 basketball teams coached by John Suva.

It seemed like a good idea to set this up online to keep everyone informed of the latest news.
On here you will find practice times, match reports and any other guff that seems appropriate. Once I've got a handle on all this I'll also upload regular photos and keep updated statistics (rebounds, steals, shooting percentages).

First up we have the team, at least I think this is it.
After interpreting the hieroglyphics of the three coaches (division-1 and the two division-2 teams) I believe this is the team that John is coaching and that I am managing.
In alphabetical order the team looks like it is:
Aaron Caldwell
Jackson Gogoll
Kurt Joyner
Nathan McOrist
Michael Northey
Anthony Rodriguez
Addam Stone
Jack Suva
James Trimble

Parents may like to know that our division-2 teams have been split evenly. Unlike a lot of other clubs Sutherland has not created one strong team and one weak team at this level.
The object of putting together balanced teams has been to look to the long-term future of the U-12 boys division and the club. I believe that all of the division-1 players will be going up to U-14s next year, which means that this season's division-2 players will fill their spots next season.
With this split all the boys on both teams get plenty of playing time and can develop far more over the coming year. Our first practice session is in January.
I'll post the time and exact details as soon as I have that information confirmed.

For anybody interested in going to a basketball camp over the summer holidays, check out the Sutherland camp running later in January.
The details from Shark's Bite are:
Ages: 6-14

A chance to win daily prizes, PLUS AWARDS.
Positions are limited - first in, first served rule applies.Closing date to register: no later than Tues. 17/01/06 (till 10.30 pm).Check out the website at Sharks if you need any more info.
That's it for now. I'll keep everyone updated as the season progresses.
Cheers
Alvin
