Camberwell Dragons are urging our players, coaches and officials to wear blue armbands in support of Basketball Victoria's (BV) Road Safety Round.

BV has partnered with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) to support a new road safety initiative that will see tens of thousands of grassroots and elite sportspeople join its mission to save lives and prevent injuries on the state's roads.

Minister for Roads and Road Safety Melissa Horne joined the TAC and leaders from BV, Cricket Victoria and Football Victoria last month to launch the expanded program, which will engage more than 1700 sporting clubs statewide.

As part of the initiative, BV's Road Safety Round (January 19-February 1) is under way, with players, coaches and officials encouraged to wear blue armbands to Band Together for road safety awareness and in recognition of those impacted by road trauma. And as our teams prepare to return to the court this week, we're calling on all Dragons to get involved.

Dragons team managers and/or coaches can collect a roll of blue tape from the Camberwell Basketball office at 606 High Street, Kew, during office hours. The tape will also be available at our home venues when Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) competition resumes on January 30. We'd love to see the photos of your team wearing the armbands, too. Please send them to [email protected] and we'll share them here and on our social media platforms.
