Which current Blaze Player has the highest free throw shooting percentage? 4. Which Turkish Club did Bennett Davison play for? 5. Which current Blaze player set an Australian Institute of Sport record, for the most blocked shots in one game? How many shots did he block? Please email [email protected] for all entry submissions with “Sept NL Comp” in the subject heading; only entries submitted correctly will be accepted. 2 winners will be selected at random with winners being advised by email. Entries must be received by the 10th of October 2010. Aussie Hoops After a successful launch of the Aussie Hoops program we have introduced an additional program, called Minihoops. Minihoops targets the 7-11 year age group and is for those children who are wishing to progress into the next stage of learning with the introduction of more specific drills, concepts and basic rules of basketball.
