We are thrilled to announce our Summer 25/26 teams and to share some exciting news about the continued growth of our Club!

With 650 registered players and 87 teams entered for the upcoming season, we’ve officially broken all previous Club records. This is a huge achievement and a testament to the hard work, dedication, and community spirit of everyone involved.

A heartfelt thank you to our committee members, age group coordinators, coaches, team managers, parents, players, and even the siblings who make game days possible! Your efforts throughout the Winter 25 season have not gone unnoticed, and we’re proud of the strong, positive reputation we’re continuing to build.

### 📲 Important: Communication via Stack Team App

From next season onward, all Club communications will be made through Stack Team App, including team chat groups. These groups will be automatically set up during the week. This ensures clear, consistent communication from a single source.

### 🔍 Team Selection Process

As with past seasons, we ask that Falcons families respect the thoughtful and thorough process behind team selections.

Factors considered include (but are not limited to):

* Coach feedback
* Coordinator evaluations
* Friendship requests
* Coaching appointments
* Team/coach/player dynamics
* Age within each group (season allocation)
* Opportunities for player development and success

Final sign-off of teams is completed by the Team Selection Committee, made up of Age Group Coordinators and the Executive Committee.

Our shared goal is for every player to thrive, enjoy, and grow in their basketball journey.

### 📧 Team Placement Concerns

Our Executive Committee and Age Group Coordinators will review and respond.
Please note: We will not discuss placements of children other than your own, and we kindly ask that you do not call Committee members directly about team selections.
