Devonport Primary School - Be Worthy - Moving Young Minds to Higher Ground

Welcome to Miniball / Basketball at Devonport Primary School!

Season 1 miniball registration is now closed. An opportunity to play in Season 2 2012 is still ahead, so be sure to complete your registration form. Those Year 2 and 3 children who missed out in Season 1 due to a lack of players in that age group, are encouraged to try again in Season 2! Come out and watch a practice -- you may even be able to join in.

2012 Holiday Camps:

The 2012 Holiday Camp dates have been confirmed for the whole year. There are discounts for attending more than one camp (see conditions) and the usual family discount for more than one child attending. All details of the holiday camp can be accessed on the Harbour Basketball website www.harbourbasketball.sportingpulse.net.

The cost will again include subway lunch each day and a camp tee shirt.  A subway order form is on the Harbour Basketball website for your convenience.  Cookies can be ordered at an extra $1 per cookie and can either be paid for separately on the first day or be added to your registration fee.

Angela and the team at Harbour Basketball run a great holiday basketball coaching camp. The camps are fun and a great opportunity to improve your skills!

Fair and Sportsmanlike Play
  • Encourage your teammates
  • Use appropriate language
  • Miniball / basketball is not a contact sport; go for the ball, not the person. Learn and practice the appropriate offensive and defensive skills.
  • Line up and shake hands with the other team and the referees at the end of the game.
  • Unsportsmanlike behaviour by coaches, managers, players, or spectators will not be tolerated and may result in your team receiving a technical penalty.

Primary School Rules as issued by Harbour Basketball for play at North Shore Events Centre (NSEC).

Primary School Junior Competition Rules as issued by YMCA for Thursday and Friday evening leagues.

Devonport Blazers (Yr 4):

Coach: Jack and John Nunnington, Manager: Maire Vieth

Team: Oscar Heim, Shea Bratton, Solvi Gudmundsson, Elliot Collinge Moore, Louie Nunnington, August Elworthy, Marcus Hall-Taylor

Practice Time: Wednesday 8am on DPS court

Games: Tuesday, March 6, North Shore Events Centre: A hard-fought battle ended in a 8-5 loss -- not a thrashing. Tuesday, March 13: a convincing win! And, now the team has been graded into the Gold League. Keep up the fighting spirit, team!

Uniforms
The DPS uniform is black mesh shorts and navy/white team shirt. 
 
If you are a new player and need shorts, please advise Cory Rossignol, DPS Sports Coordinator, at coryr@devonport.school.nz. We will place an order with Yarnton's in Devonport. Cost is typically $25. Another option, is to buy a used pair from a 2011 player.
 
Fees
Each player must pay a fee of $75 to Devonport Primary. This amount covers team registration, uniform user fee and school awards.
 
If you already have/or are going to purchase a team shirt for $18, then the fee drops to $65. Please advise Linda at time of fee payment if that is the case. 
 
The fee is due by Monday, 27  February and can be paid by Eftpos at the school office, cheque (payable to Devonport Primary) or internet banking (ASB Devonport, Account Name: Education Admin, Account No: 12-3015-0531617-00). If paying by internet banking, as reference, please include your child's name, school, and team name. Please also advise Linda or Sarah in the office if you have paid by internet banking.

Games
Please do not rely on your coach and manager for transport to and from the games. We recommend car pooling with other parents, where possible.

Each team needs to provide a scorer at the games.
 
Games are 4 x 5-minute quarters and the clock does not stop during quarters.

Years 4 and 5 play half-court defense. Year 6 play full-court.

Only coach, manager and players are to be on the team bench during games.

It is a good idea to have a basic first-aid kit with icepack and plasters on hand at games.

Best of luck and lots of FUN, Teams!!

Please share your results, stories, and photos with me so I can post them on this page.
