Sharks players in All Star Spectacular

The Parramatta Basketball Association will host its biggest event of the year on Saturday night (Oct 18), when two of the strongest basketball teams available in the off-season meet in an "All-Star Challenge". The Gala Night commences at 6pm with a three-point shooting contest and this will undoubtedly enthral the fans, as some of Sydney's best shooters gather to determine who is the cream of the crop.

The All-Star game will follow at 7pm, with a very new-look Parramatta Wildcats team taking on an "All-Star" team containing a 'who's who' of basketball in this city. The Wildcats will be headed by three of its established stars in Goran Veg, Charles Bloemen and Andre Boykin, whilst newcomers Eban Hyams (Singapore Slingers NBL), Terry Amir (Bankstown Bruins WABL), three-point sharp-shooter Adi Causevic and former Wildcat and Sydney Kings NBL centre Anthony Susnjara are among the new faces.

The All-Stars are headed by four current or former NBL players in BJ Carter (Sydney Kings/Sutherland Sharks), Blake Borgia (Sydney Kings), David Pollard (Sydney Spirit) and Luke Brennan (Sydney Kings), along with a star-studded support cast from other WABL teams including Rod Proctor from the Sutherland Sharks.

Surf Life Saving’s 2008 National Leadership Challenge

Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) is now seeking enrolment applications for places at the 2008 National Leadership College to be held at Sydney University, 1 - 6 December 2008. SLSA has created a new 'college' style of leadership training specially designed for its members. SLSA promises participants will spend six amazing days with their Surf Life Saving mates, will learn a lot about leadership but probably more about themselves.

Participants will be bursting with ideas and confidence and they will know exactly how to direct that energy when they get back to their club, and what would a week of college be without some challenging activities, fun and games.
