There is no guarantee that teams will stay the same each year.
Please refer to our club philosophy on this website.
TRAINING
Once the teams are formed for the upcoming season the coach from each team is notified by the Training Coordinator, Jacqui Embleton
Training is at Derinya Primary School Basketball Stadium after school during the week.
Training nights are determined by the coaches and are subject to availability of allocated times. Training sessions are 45 minutes for each team, with first training session starting at 3.45pm and the last training session finishing at 7.30pm.
VOLUNTEERS
Once the teams are formed it is required that the roles of coach and team manager for each team are filled by parent volunteers. It would not be possible for teams to play in the competition without parents volunteering for these important roles. Please consider taking on one of these roles for your child’s team. Volunteer coaches can register via the "COACHES CORNER" page on this website.
AT THE GAMES
All parents in each team are required to help with scoring if they have not volunteered as a coach or team manager. Generally a roster is created by the team manager.
