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.

.@SEMelbPhoenix family day was fantastic. My son had a ball being part of the clinic and meeting his favourite @NBL players. Loved the emphasis on connecting with the community that @tommygreer10 & @SMitch_Phoenix spoke about. Youโve won this former Tigers member over. Well done. pic.twitter.com/YR4AZ3u7qG

I can vouch for a couple of face painted young girls in this one that they had a great time. So good to see the new imports buy in like this. Something so simple can make life long fans https://t.co/l1NWnYjCLa

"Great day. Well done to the players and organizers."
"Fabulous day! The whole team were amazing, it was so great to meet you all. Can't wait to see what you bring this season."
"We all enjoyed the day so much. My son had so much fun in the players clinic. All the players were so friendly and approachable. Well worth our visit from Gippsland."
"Was a great day and all the new players were extremely friendly with the kids (and big kids) during the signing. Great to see we've again recruited good people, not just good players."
Thank you to all the Phoenix fans for coming out on Sunday. See you all on October 1 at the Fire Pit for round 1.
