St George Basketball Association Presentation Dinner

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I recently had the pleasure of attending the St George Basketball Association's Presentation Dinner, meeting some of the fantastic players in the St George representative teams. The Association has been active for over 40 years, and services two local Council areas. The Association has played a significant role in our community in providing young people the opportunity to play basketball, as well as develop their character and sportsmanship.

The Association is entirely volunteer run, and provides opportunities for younger children wanting to have a go at basketball, as well as development and advanced classes for more professional players. It was great to attend the Presentation Dinner and hear about the Association's successes during the past season. I would like to thank the dedicated volunteers of the club, including board members such as Ray Barbi, President, as well as coaches, referees, parents and friends, and of course the players. Best of luck for the next basketball season.
