FINALS! Good luck to all our Scorpions teams playing finals this week! Over half of our teams have made finals and this little club is very proud of all our players! Well done to our U16 Sixers girls who play in their GF next Tuesday night. [Pic of our U16 Saints girls after making finals last week]

Calling 6-9 year old girls! We’d love some more players for our U8 and U10 girls teams for the upcoming winter season starting in term 2. If you’d like to know more, please contact our Registrar at: glenirisdistrict.registrar@gmail.com

What a great bunch of people! Our committee met in person on Monday night to prepare for the upcoming winter season. We are always looking for more volunteers to join the committee in whatever capacity they can - in a specific role where you might have specialised expertise to share, as a general member or as a volunteer for ad hoc projects that pop up during the year like our presentation nights or grading sessions. Please get in touch with our President Alison Sim if you’d like to know more: scorpionspresident@gmail.com

Know any little ones who want to try basketball? We are running our popular junior “Stingers” development program again in a few weeks and would love to see some budding new players. There will be two Friday sessions held on the 14th and 21st March at Waverley Basketball Stadium, 5-5:45pm. Cost is only $25 for both sessions, plus players will take home a free basketball. See our link in bio to register! Spots are limited so get in quick.

We’re on the Local Matters jar again at Grill’d Chadstone Village! With your support we won the top prize last year, so let’s do it again!

For the month of February, grab a burger at Grill’d and receive a token to vote for your favourite local community group (Scorpions of course!) If we get the most votes, Grill’d will generously donate $300 to our club. Even if we don’t win, we still get $100 and every little bit counts.

So look out for our jar in store and give us your vote! Don’t forget, it’s the store with the drive thru near Officeworks on Warrigal Rd.

Winter 2025 registrations are now open! Register by 11pm Friday 14 February for $50 off fees. Registrations will close Monday 17 February. The season starts the first week of term 2 (Tuesday night games 22 April, Saturday games 26 April, Sunday games 27 April).

Parents please note we have a new grading policy starting next season. U12 and U14 players can opt to try out for our high performance teams, or they can choose to be placed in a development (friendship) team. All other age groups will be friendship-based teams as in previous seasons. We recognise some players wish to play at the highest level they can, and some just want to play with their friends. We appreciate your patience as we implement this new policy for grading and team selection leading into the Winter season.

Let’s keep the Glen Iris Scorpions stinging! If you can spare an hour or two every so often, we would love you to join our club committee. We need more people to share their wisdom and skills to support our club and keep our kids playing the game they love! Our next meeting is online next Wednesday 5 February at 7:30pm. Zoom link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/89068298481 or email us for more info: glenirisdistrict@gmail.com

Summer season picks up again this weekend. We hope all our Scorpions families have had a restful break and are ready to hit the courts. Seven rounds to go! Sting sting Scorpions 🦂 🏀

Yeah the old boys! Our Scorpions dads team won a thrilling grand final last night in the Waverley men’s comp. After being 12 down early in the second half, they came back to be 4 points up late in the game. A last minute 3 from the other team couldn’t get them, with the Scorpions Old Boys holding on to win by 1 point. Well done lads! Doing your kids proud. Sting sting 🦂

THANK YOU SCORPIONS!! With your generous support, we were the winners of the November Local Matters program at Grill’d! The $300 prize will go straight to the club to support our teams and players. Thank you to everyone who visited Grill’d to vote for us!

NEW DATE FOR CLUB AGM: The Glen Iris Scorpions are holding their Annual General Meeting next Monday 11 November at 7:30pm at the Waverley Basketball club room (near canteen). We ask that a representative from each team attends the AGM - all members are welcome. Light refreshments will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there.

CAN YOU HELP? We are desperately seeking donations of Scorpions uniforms for the start of summer season. In particular we need adult sized tops and shorts for our older players. Even if you can help with a loan that we will return to you, or if you’re happy to donate old uniforms to the club, it would be greatly appreciated. Have a search of those cupboards, or ask your old Scorpions mates - we would love to hear from you if you can help out. Please email Flip at scorpionsuniforms@gmail.com

SUMMER TEAMS NOW LIVE - Our teams have been selected for the upcoming Summer 24/25 season. Head to our website for the teams list: glenirisscorpions.com/register

Please appreciate that many hours have been spent by our dedicated volunteers to craft teams to the best of our ability. We have had to consider many factors including friendship requests, player skills and the need for balanced teams formed from the number of registrations received in each age group. We thank our volunteer Age Group Coordinators for their time and efforts.

Stay tuned for more info from your team manager regarding training and team contact details. Enjoy the September holidays and we’ll see you all for round 1 with games starting from Saturday 12 October.
