FAMILY DAY:
We’re excited to invite you to our Family Day to celebrate the launch of our WNBL season! This is your chance to be part of something special as we kick off the season together.
One of the biggest highlights of the day will be the jersey presentation. For any basketball player, pulling on their jersey is a massive moment – it’s what they’ve worked so hard for. It’s a symbol of pride, teamwork, and belonging. For our WNBL players, it’s even more special as they wear the Geelong United jersey for the first time, representing not just themselves, but our entire community.
Event Details:
- Date: Sunday, October 27, 2024
- Time: 11:00 am – 1:00 pm
- Location: Beyond Bank, 20 Crows Road, Belmont
