Redfield College
Basketball
Information for New Parents.
Redfield College offers a comprehensive basketball programme for its Primary and Secondary students.
Students compete in both summer and winter competitions; the Summer Competition in Terms 4 and 1
and the Winter Competition during Terms 2 and 3. Boys have a choice of playing in either or both
competitions, depending on their level of interest, their individual need to develop skills and/or their
wish to participate in some of the other sports that are on offer at the College.
All domestic basketball games (Primary and Secondary) are played at the Hills Sports Stadium at Fred
Caterson Reserve, Castle Hill, where the age group of the boy determines the time and day of the week
that he will be competing.
All representative games, whereby students represent the College in the Independent Sports Association
(ISA) are played on a Saturday morning. This competition applies to Secondary boys only and is played
during Terms 4 and 1.
Additional representative teams are also selected to play in the Hills Northwest Tournament and Primary
and Secondary tournaments held at Bankstown throughout the year.
The College places a high emphasis on basketball training and encourages students to attend skill
sessions on a Wednesday morning for Primary held at Redfield and on a Saturday morning for
Secondary at the Bernie Mullane Complex. These skill sessions are run by a professional coach, Delmas
Green, who is a senior qualified coach with over 25 years experience which includes coaching ABA
Men and Women’s teams, Junior Representative teams and at State level together with Roland
Barros(Saturday mornings) who coaches the Hornsby Assoc.Youth League Team and Peter Hudson
who also coaches at the Junior Representative level. These skill sessions complement a team training
session and a weekly game, which makes up the weekly commitment required for interested basketball
players. Below is a general overview of the current basketball timetable.

Basketball is a wonderful cardio-vascular sport. It teaches excellent hand-eye coordination, teamwork
skills and leadership skills, whilst also encouraging the personal values that Redfield so appreciates in its
students.
Any student interested in playing should fill in the attached form either email it or return it in an
envelope addressed to Redfield Basketball Coordinator, Attn. Kathleen Parker via the College
Office. In addition, parents are encouraged to come along and watch their boys playing and to join in
either as managers, coaches and bench officials (training can be arranged).
Thank you for your interest
