Respect Themed Weekends
We are starting a new initiative this year . The respect for our Game weekends. Different weekends during the year have been earmarked for different types of respect . Over these weekends we hope that our message of Respect for all will be enhanced leading to a better sport for us all to enjoy . I Hope that all Clubs will embrace this idea . If you need any more information on this please let me know.
Respect Our Game is a constant thread running through every level of Basketball, from players, coaches, officials and supporters. It underpins how we play, coach, support, and represent our clubs. While respect is something we strive to uphold all season long, these themed weekends are designed to highlight its importance and give Clubs across the County the chance to celebrate and showcase what it truly means to respect our game.
Respect Our Game emphasises our core values and demonstrates the positive aspects of Basketball both on and off the pitch. It provides an opportunity to show new and old members and the wider community how Basketball can enrich our lives when it’s played in a respectful and safe environment.
Clubs are encouraged to get involved through activities such as:
- Fair Play Awards, during adult matches
- Silent and Positive Courtsides, at underage games
- Parent and Volunteer Presentations, t
hat highlight their significant influence within Basketball
