Happy New year

We are back and ready to play basketball. Thank you to all the young people and parents for your patience. Our open session is back Monday the 10th of January 6pm to 7pm.
Our Thursday under 14’s will still continue 6pm-7pm. Whilst our over 14’s will play 7pm-8:30 unless Swindon Silverbacks have a game. At which point the session will end at 8pm. Young people and their parents can watch the game for free, as our ultimate goal is to get a team into the local league Division 4 with some of our young players playing more often.
We will also introduce an open session for men Thursdays at 8:30pm, if Silverbacks are not playing or traing. This will be logged onto the calander.
I will also be arranging some matches over the next few months and putting together a calendar that will be uploaded on our facebook page as well as the website. Ideally we will aslo organise kit this week as well.
Lastly can I ask that parents please give your child a lateral flow test before training to avoid the spread of covid. If you are dropping your child off, please make sure coaches have an emergency contact in case of injury.

To follow us on Facebook please go to Swindon Shock Community Basketball.

December update

I want to first thank everyone for participating in all the sessions. This weekend we will have our first matches against other young people. Please let me know by Thursday if your child plans to attend the event. Coaches will provide tops, but we ask that your child have black shorts until we have done a kit order. In addition please make sure your child is registered on the gocardless payment plan before playing this weekend.

November update

A quick update, I am meeting with the Council on the 26th, which should give us a better understanding of more sportshall time at the same cost. As we are reaching max capcity on both of our session it is important to me to increase the time your children are allowed to play. The goal will be to increase the sessions by a half hour 🙂 In addition Oxford will be confirming some dates and times for friendlies in December. Stay tune.
