Mermaid’s Coach
We are hoping that the crowd is embracing the fact that this years Mermaids team is very young and will feed off your encouragement and support.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Courtney Primmer into the Coaching Staff of the Mermaids and I truly believe he has all the makings of a head coach within a couple of seasons. Also you will notice the Mermaids Team Manager is a familiar face in Jordy Billington who runs a tight ship.
I would also like to wish Alex Gynes the Head Coach of the Seahawks and his team all the very best for the upcoming season.
Go Mermaids and Seahawks.

Seahawk’s Coach
Following nearly 24 months of very little action, basketball is finally back.
We would like to thank our sponsors, volunteers and the wider basketball community for your support and assistance in getting our program back up and running after a COVID stricken lay off.
Best of luck to Lee Primmer and the Mermaids!
Have a great night and enjoy the game!
