Basketball in England is very young and without a true structure at a grassroots level. As Somerset State continues to develop, we believe we will be able to help grow the sport for all. Our NEW Somerset State Cup is our next step in providing more basketball game opportunities to our players, whilst providing competition between our coaching centres who wouldn't ordinarily meet. This is also a fantastic opportunity for our coaches to see where there players are in their learning journey... MAY THE BATTLE OF THE CENTRES COMMENCE!
Our team of experienced coaches will be hosting and officiating our Somerset State Cup, ensuring a fantastic learning environment for all players to continue to develop and express themselves on the court.
If an age group team wins, these points go towards the coaching venue's overall points.
Age Group Games:
Yr4/5's v Yr4/5's
Yr6/7's v Yr6/7's
Yr8/9's v Yr8/9's
WIN = 3 points
LOSS = 1 point
(No draw in games - Golden Basket)
4x 12 minute quarters
Winning Coaching Centre lift the Gold Cup and take into future years competition!
Games are £5 each to attend.
Including at £5 administration fee included raising the cost to £25 for all games across the summer period. (This is contributed to referees coaches and venue hire).
In the event a game is cancelled due to the venue being unable to open we will issue a full refund for the game missed.
In the result that there are low players attending due to holidays or other commitments, we will still run games with the aim we have had from the outset of providing players the opportunity to play and showcase their development to date.
Unfortunately due to rising costs we will be rising our Somerset State and Evolution Netball prices by £1.50 per session from January 1st 2025.
Players will receive another email regarding this in December.
