Thanks for your time


Rockets Basketball Club would like to thank coaches Ciara Lynch and Mary Whelan for their work and efforts with us.
Ciara was with us last season at U12 level and spent a large portion of the summer months doing voluntary work with the street children of the Phillipines. We are full of admiration.We know that Ciara will continue to promote Basketball in St. Seachnall's.

Mary had been with us since the start of the club and has worked hard to improve fitness levels and tactical standards particularly with the boys of the Club. A hard task-master, she was unflinching in her demands and many of our players have improved significantly due to her direct input. We hope to see Mary reffing some games for us this season.
Once more ,a large Thank You to both ladies for your contribution to our club.

Fees Reduced for the 2009/'10 Season



Rockets are pleased to announce that their fees for most members are actually REDUCED for the coming season. Standard fee will be €110 per player with a reduction of €10 for every subsequent member of the same family. When compared with other sports and activities we believe that this represents good value for money for a season that runs up to Easter.
