ST PAUL'S BASKETBALL CLUB will hold its annual registration and enrolment evening in Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre this Friday, September 9, from 6pm to 8pm.

The registration evening is open to boys and girls from under-8 to under-18 and all players will be catered for. Registration for the 'Little Dribblers' (under-8) will also take place on the evening. Club officers and team coaches will be available to meet with players and parents at this event.

It is important that all players register with the club on Friday, September 9, so that a sufficient amount of teams can be entered in the Kerry Area Board Leagues. Parents are asked to attend the Killarney Sports and Leisure Centre on the night with their children.
Anybody who can't attend will have to register with the club before the deadline day of September 23. Further registration details can be found on stpaulskillarney.ie and facebook.com/StPaulsKillarney

St Paul's would be delighted to welcome any new players interested in joining the club this season. The club would also appreciate the input of extra coaches as well. While most teams have a coach in place for the season ahead, the club is still looking for a coach and team manager for the U-12 and U-14 girls team and the U-11 boys team.

NEW COACH

Under the direction of new club chairman, Padraig Weldon, St Paul's have made very progressive steps in recent months towards the development of basketball coaching in Killarney. The club is delighted to announce that new Slovenian coach Muharem Vugdalic will arrive in Killarney on September 8 to take up the position of professional coach in the club.
A former Slovenian international, Muharem also has a very impressive international coaching record and he will oversee all coaching in St Paul's and will also help out with player development within the club. The new coach will also be working in the local schools reaching out to several more young players in the Killarney and East Kerry area.
The club is very grateful for the support of local businesses who have made it possible to bring in a foreign coach.
St. Paul's would be delighted to hear from any local business that is interested in getting involved with the club in any sponsorship capacity.
