While the boys were challenged in the first two rounds of the conference earlier in the year, round 3 showed a big improvement and confidence for the young team.

The Breakers had two games against Camden Valley and Wollondilly coming out the victors in both games.

The U12 Breakers have been coached this season by Matt Neason who has been impressed by the team.

"The boys have shown great progress over the season," Neason said.

"Their commitment to the defensive end, which is not a common trait at under 12's, has really impressed me.

"The boys have now won four in a row, but winning the right way is more important than winning," the ex AIS coach.

"Being team focused, playing with energy and calmly working through the pressure the opposition applies are areas where this team is excelling."

The team is now looking forward to the last round of the conference on September 22 in Shoalhaven.

For any junior players wanting to start basketball there is currently free training sessions being held each Friday afternoon from 4.30pm at the Hanging Rock basketball stadium.

The sessions are run by association coaches and are a great introduction to the game and a good lead-up for sign-on for the next competitions starting in Term 4.

For all basketball inquiries phone Ria on 0455 496 504, or simply call into the Hanging Rock basketball stadium on Friday afternoon.
