New Basketball Club is Recruiting Coaches and Players

Sarnia, ON – October 1, 2010 — The Sarnia Flames basketball club established in 2008 is currently looking for qualified coaches and players to join their program.  “Our goal is to run teams at every age group from grades 4-12 for girls and eventually boys as well.” Said club president, Diane Galvin.  “Sarnia has a rich history of basketball clubs and programs but there are still a lot of kids missing out.”  The Sarnia Flames offers a competitive program that will develop and improve individual as well as team skills, promote good sportsmanship, team spirit and encourage club loyalty.

Try-outs are scheduled to begin on October 17 and the club is looking for community volunteers who are interested in coaching.  “We already have some very good coaches in our system who will serve as mentors to new comers, but we are also hoping to attract some seasoned coaches to our system.” Said Galvin.   The club is registered with both Ontario Basketball and the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) in the States providing coaches with a wide range of options when developing their schedules for the season. 

Anyone interested in playing or coaching can print off the try-out schedule or the coaching application form or contact Diane Galvin at 519-867-2139 for more information.
