Easter Classic 2025

Firstly, looking forward to returning to my home town coaching a couple of Victoria teams in this tournament.

Quick question from someone who's been away from SA basketball.

Wayville Stadium and State Basketball Centre, are they one and the same? Next door? I see games scheduled at both, but Google Maps implies they're the same?

On a similar note, looking forward to seeing what St Bernards became with ARC, see what North left Hillcrest for with Lights, see new St Clair and last look at Marion. Yeah, I know, been a while....

State Basketball Centre is nice, and is an addition to the pre-existing Wayville Stadium.

Thanks LC, so they are connected? Two separate buildings?

stadiums are all a big improvement.

state basketball centre is 4 courts - continuation of the 3 courts at wayville.

Lights and the ARC are good - the old Hillcrest days are but a memory now.

Easter tournament has been great the last few years.

Don't think the state can reproduce last weekends Gather Round weather of 36 degree days.

yes they are connected by a corridor on the eastern aspect - 2 entrances though can use either - off car park inside showgrounds or off rose tce (old front door).

Be interesting with the parking - cause you have have to have the app with the QR code ?

I believe the ticket validators have gone ?

There was no need to pay for parking in 2024 at Wayville / SBC for the Easter Classic.

Are many local clubs fully supporting the tournament, not just teams here and there. For a while it was mainly Norwood and interstate teams.
Probably still some politics but would be great if other clubs got on board and offered some variety.

i think it's a good tourney - different from what it was 30 years ago - which is to be expected - a lot of interstate clubs have changed - not just SA.

Power bases seem to cycle through 5-15 year blocks

its a great tourney and great to see vics over here giving our kids a chance to get beaten up by them ahead of classics. all ambitious teams should do it imo. comp is limited here and this is best and cheapest chance to play better opposition. every team weve had in th ecomp has been better for it even if they were beaten by vics (quite) easily.
