On September 25, we ran the first ever Helping Hoops North Melbourne Tournament for some very energetic and excited kids. The day started with a clinic and games with Coach Kevin, followed by a BBQ. Four coaches then drew to select players in a mini-draft before we headed into a double-elimination tournament.
Although the Red Team, coached by a proud Coach Steve, ultimately came out victorious and earned themselves each a trophy, everyone was a winner and enjoyed the chance to compete with and against their friends in the school holidays.
School holiday tournaments are a great reward-for-effort for children participating in our programs, and help bring our already strong community even closer. Thanks goes out to all the volunteers who made the day a success, all the kids who turned up and played games with fantastic sportsmanship, and the North Melbourne Community Centre which contributed the venue free of charge.
