Event Information
Join us at The ARC for the opening NBL1 games of the season against the Woodville Warriors!
It is opening round so make sure we pack the ARC with plenty of red and blue!
The Women's team return with their young core intact, adding the firepower of Imports Dara Mabrey and Cali Clark!
Both imports have just been playing in Greece and will join the Flames in their goal of making it back into the finals.
Coach Matt Hunt has had a strong pre-season, integrating new comer Amy Cotton- who will be a strong, physical presence in the forward position.
Rookie Lara Gribben will also look to make an impact. The accomplished junior has had a great ascendency over the past 18 months in her development. She will be looking to continue challenging herself in the NBL1 space.
Mabrey is coming off a great collegiate career at the University of Notre Dame. Clark also had a strong NCAA D1 career, playing for Colorado State and San Diego State.
For the Men- the team has had a revamped roster under new Head Coach Miles Pearce.
With strong NZ ties- it's no surprise to see a NZ contingent on the squad.
Campbell Scott will be a strong guard for the group, whilst Mason Whittaker and Joel Coffey will add size and length to the group as they play the big spots.
Import Thomas Kurowski has been impressive over the pre-season period as he adjusts to life in Australia. TK has been a great scorer, with a quiet achiever approach to his game.
Chok Garang has been another welcomed off-season addition. Chok is an elite defender who can guard multiple positions on the floor, as well as in the air.
Come down to the Arc to help us kick off the new season in style!
