HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT: CORONAVIRUS IN NSW 16TH MARCH 2020

Dear CSBA members,

As you probably know by now Basketball Australia recommended that Basketball Associations pause all activity as of 7am Saturday 14th March due to concerns with the Coronavirus (COVID – 19)  https://bit.ly/33ho5sm  This advice along with the understandable concern by a large number of our members led us to pause all basketball activity, effective immediately. 

This pause in activity includes:

  • All junior and senior Representative and local competitions
  • Training and development programs for local competitions and Representative basketball. 
  • Aussie Hoops
  • Academy
  • Comets Stadium will also be closed to the public
  • Everything basketball

For now can everyone please limit queries to CSBA staff and board to urgent matters only.  Operational decisions will be communicated in a timely manner. 

This decision was not taken lightly and was made in the best interests of everyone’s safety.  As this situation is evolving so rapidly this pause in activity will give us time to consider our position moving forward.  We hope to return to playing basketball soon but will only do so when we know it’s in everyone’s best interests.

 

Think of other people.  We are all in it.  We can all make a difference as to how things play out.

 

Yours in Basketball

Ben Osborne

General Manager

City of Sydney Basketball Association
