Zero Tolerance Reminder A gentle reminder that NSBL strives to encourage an inclusive and positive environment. Any display of poor sportsmanship / aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated and will be dealt with accordingly. To spin it on a more positive note, a massive shout-out to all the amazingly good displays of sportsmanship that we have seen so far in 2023.

Reminders:

· Continue to check NSBL emails / website for ongoing updates

· Parking – safety of all members is important. PLEASE choose to park legally over convenience. There is ample parking on Yarrabung road and surrounding side streets. There is strictly NO parking in / driving onto school grounds.

· Health – if someone is unwell, we are asking they do not attend any sessions until better. This applies to all members, coaches and spectators. Let’s continue to remain vigilant. Hand sanitiser is at the entrance at each session. We also continue to clean all basketballs at least once a week.

· Unfortunately we are no longer accepting the active kids vouchers (as of January 2023), apologies again.

Hope you have a great long weekend ahead (No basketball Sun June 11th / Mon June 12th) See you all soon
