If they are successful in being selected in one of our top teams, there will also be the opportunity to play in other tournaments throughout the year, some of which include trips outside of Christchurch in the school holidays (these are not compulsory if you just want to play on Friday nights).
There will be a fee of approximately $80 per student for the basketball season (terms 2 & 3), which covers registration fees, coaches, & uniform hire. Tournaments will be paid in addition to this amount. As basketball is an OPTIONAL extra-curricular activity at Cobham, payment must be made prior to the beginning of the season.
