We expect this to be up by next week.
RedCity Roar has projected its restart from the week starting Monday the 13th of July for all its programs and competitions. This includes our Capalaba Central Roar Ready Schools, CUBS, Junior and Senior competitions. This is the first week of term 3 (subject to COVID-19 restrictions being lifted as planned).
For Juniors (Under 10’s through to Under 21’s) – The season will be played out for the remaining 11 weeks of our interrupted season (ending 16th of October). If you registered for the Summer season you will not need to register again. From the 17th of October through to the 5th of December we will be extending competition – more details to come! Fees will be passed onto members for those games which will come out in due course.
Please refer directly to your club for training scheduling and information.
BQ has extended the BQ registration expiry date by 120 days for our existing members who were registered as of the 13th March 2020 (when all basketball activity was suspended).
This means any members whose registration was due to expire over the past few months is still active, so you can enjoy a full years’ registration with BQ. This will also apply to the RedCity roar membership as well.
U8 CUBS program – Will restart on Wednesday the 15th of July 4-5pm at PCYC with games starting 8.00am Saturday 18th July for the 6 & 7 yr olds. CUBS registration is per school term. A discounted term fee will be applied for term 3 due to the suspension of the competition in term 1.
