Following the Victorian Government’s announcement today, FDBA are proud to announce the return of the Frankston Blues to competitions this weekend, as part of Basketball Victoria’s inaugural Mental Health Round.
The round will emphasise the importance of mental health and wellbeing and outline that it is okay not to be okay.
Statement orange Lifeline socks will be worn throughout the club’s games this weekend, while we continue with the Push For Better Foundation’s Push Up Challenge, which has now raised over $10,000.
