Wildcats commit to possible league
Statement from the Cats:
The Perth Wildcats are disappointed with the decision of the Melbourne Tigers and the South Dragons to withdraw from the proposed New NBL competition at this late stage. As a result of their decisions this now leaves the league with no clubs from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.Full release
The Perth Wildcats are committed to playing basketball and will lodge an application to play in the reformed league. It is our goal to not only field a successful team on court but to continue growing the sport at a grass roots level, as illustrated by the numerous school clinics that the players have conducted since the end of the season. It is imperative that young basketballers continue to have faith in a system that one day can give them the opportunity to play in front of thousands of people. It is the legacy of our owner Jack Bendat to ensure that basketball is not lost within the sport spectrum and that the Perth Wildcats players of today establish themselves as role models within the community and to continue to not only entertain by what we do on court but also to inspire individuals.
