HoopTime Basketball Tournament

As part of our Physical Education and Sport program at BUPS, we endeavour to present as many learning opportunities as possible in the various areas of the curriculum. The McDonald’s Hooptime Basketball Tournament is an event that provides children with the opportunity to play a “real” game of basketball in a semi competitive setting.

Students in Grades 3-6 are all encouraged to participate in this Term 3 Basketball event which usually takes place at the Dandenong Basketball Stadium, Stud Road Dandenong. Each team is assigned a coach and a team manager. All Grade 3-6 teachers attend the event and parent help is also required with managing or coaching the teams.

There are three sections:

• • Rookies – for those who have recently been introduced to the game
  • Future Stars – for those who have played some basketball and are reasonable ball dribblers
  • All Stars – children who play at a high level, that is, section 1 or play Representative basketball for their club.

All children are expected to participate in the Hooptime Tournament and an information and permission note is sent home to parents in Term 2
