Mordy Flyers
The Mordy Flyers Basketball Club is a great place to learn new skills, make great friends, have heaps of fun and be part of a great community. The club is run by a group of dedicated and passionate parents who volunteer their time and skills. Mordy Flyers has been part of the local Kingston community since the 1970’s.
Teams begin at under 9 years through to under 20 years category. We play as part of the Southern Basketball Association competition, based at Tulip Street in Sandringham.
While playing basketball, our kids successfully develop team spirit, co-ordination, health, fitness and leadership skills.

Dropping Off
To ensure the safety and well-being of ALL children, IT IS IMPERATIVE the following procedures are followed:
When dropping off a child at the facility the person/s responsible for the child must ensure that the coach is made aware of the child’s presence before leaving the facility. Please DO NOT leave your child unattended prior to training commencing, the doors open at 3.55pm and not before.
Picking up
Children must be collected by the finishing time of the class. Staff will need to be notified if the person collecting the child is to be later than usual. The child will be notified to avoid any anxiety. If someone other than usual will be picking up your child, please notify the office or teacher beforehand.
