🟡 WILLOBEES COMPETITIVE ROUND ROBIN – CROWS NEST 🏆🐝
Competitive games | Regular rotations | DUPR above 2.5

Looking for quality games against players of a similar standard?

Join us for tactical play, competitive rallies and a friendly WilloBees atmosphere. Regular partner and opponent rotations keep games varied and give you the chance to play with—and against—different players.

🎯 BOOKING REQUIREMENTS

Players must have a current DUPR rating above 2.5 to book.

Please ensure your DUPR and OpenSports accounts use the same name, so the host can verify your rating.

Players should be comfortable with:

• Keeping score without assistance
• Understanding the rules and court positioning
• Sustaining rallies and playing at a competitive pace

Unsure whether this session is right for you? Please contact the host before booking.

If you’re still developing your fundamentals, an appropriately graded All Skills session may be a better fit. If you’ve never played, please book a dedicated First Timers session.

🕘 SESSION TIME & ARRIVAL

9:00 am–11:00 am

Please arrive 5–10 minutes early, ready to check in and help when our booking begins.

Do not enter the court area, set up nets or warm up before 9:00 am unless directed by your host or Centre staff.Other groups may have paid bookings up until then, or the Centre may be providing basketball free play. Empty courts do not mean they are available for our use.

Our two-hour booking includes setup, play and pack-up—not two full hours of game time.

Please help set up and pack away the nets and balls. Play must finish with enough time to have everything packed away and the courts cleared by 11:00 am.

Please respect other sports and avoid interrupting court users before or after our booking.
