On Friday, 29th January South Warriors paid the affiliation fee of $150 ECD to the Saint Lucia Basketball Federation. A number of players have made contributions, and have, therefore, become members of the South Warriors team for 2010.

What remains now is the registration fee to participate in the upcoming tournaments for 2010. The fees at this point are as follows:
Premiere League – $200. 00
Division One (male) – $150
Females – Free

It appears that South Warriors will not participate in the Premiere League of 2010, though we still qualify at 8th place from last year’s tournament. Contributing factors are:

• current composition of the team;
• with Maze Sniperz basketball club participating this year a large subset of last year’s players have moved to this club leaving a crop of less experienced players to field from;
• current interest level;

Thus, this will be a rebuilding year for South Warriors which will showcase younger talents as well as a few “hardbacks”.
