Phoenix Family Day Reacts

1500 passionate Phoenix fans made their way out to South East Melbourne Phoenix's inaugural Family Day on Sunday September 11.

The day gave the chance for fans to meet and greet with Phoenix players for the first time in a couple of seasons. Kids clinics were run by the players learning new skills and having some fun. The formality proceedings allowed fans to hear from CEO Tommy Greer and head coach Simon Mitchell before the players were presented their jerseys for NBL23. The day ended with a signing session with the players.

The Family Day was a success with fans showing their support and gratitude through social media.
