Local comps are underway, rep teams are back on court, and our Kookaburras family is growing every week. Here’s what’s happening across the club this month.
A Message from the President
What a start to the season. Our local competitions are officially underway and it has been incredible seeing so many kids back on court, building confidence, learning new skills and enjoying the game together.
A huge thank you to all of our volunteers, coaches, referees, scorebench helpers and families who continue to support the club each week. Community sport simply does not happen without you.
We are also incredibly proud of all of our representative players who took to the court last weekend. You represented Kempsey with heart, effort and pride.
Meghan Kemp, President
