Costing
A charge will apply fort the course, we estimate that this will be about
$400 (per annum)
This includes a Berwick College uniform, all tournament fees, cost to
receive various qualifications and the expert coaching.
We have been able to keep our costings to a minimum as our program
is predominantly ran by qualified teachers with basketball expertise.
Costings may change in the future, however, Gerard is an approved
Basketball Victoria Coaching presenter and can run the coaching
courses at school, helping us again minimise costs.
Enrolment Process
Application forms will
be due at the end of
term 2 to BSC’s front
office (20th of June)
Early term 3 try outs
held at the school (if
required)
We are hopeful ALL
students trying out for
the academy will be
accepted into the
program.
The program will be
levelled, so each
participating student is
receiving coaching to
their current abilities.
